Men's diabetic foot sock without compression, without elastic and with stitching without any friction. Made of very soft and absorbent cotton. This sock has anti-bacterial treatment. Foot ulcers (wounds) and infections are the problems that diabetes can cause. The severity of the problem can range from minor injuries to serious damage to the tissue of the foot. Initial symptoms are swelling, redness, or pain. Wounds can appear on the sole of the foot and after they heal they can reappear. If the wounds are not treated, there can be tissue death at the site and the skin becomes dark. If you have diabetes, you are always at risk of having a foot infection.
The "diabetic foot" is characterized by the appearance of ulcerations in the feet, caused by peripheral neuropathy (change in sensitivity at the end of the limbs) and aggravated by circulatory changes resulting from microangiopathy (peripheral vascular change that is characterized by decreased blood circulation in the small vessels due to their narrowing or obstruction) and macroangiopathy (decreased blood circulation in larger vessels due to their obstruction or obstruction). narrowing).
About 50% of diabetic patients have neuropathy that characterizes a foot at risk. Circulatory changes lead to a nutritional reduction and poor oxygenation of tissues due to the deficiency of blood flow, lowering defenses and contributing to the appearance of lesions.
The diagnosis of diabetic foot is made mainly by the symptoms of neuropathy (decreased sensitivity – hypoesthesia, or total loss of sensitivity – anesthesia); by the presence of calluses; by changes in the nails and decreased circulation with decreased or absent distal arterial pulses and cooling of the foot.
