Sox For Africa manufactures a range of diabetic friendly socks branded as Diasock.
The Diasock range of diabetic friendly socks were specifically designed for diabetics and developed with comfort in mind. The Diasock range is an essential aid to people suffering from diabetes or poor blood circulation.
Diasock, diabetic friendly socks have absolutely no elastic in them and the patented use of alternating bands, stops the sock from falling down. A conventional sock makes use of elastic to hold the sock up on the legs of the wearer. The disadvantage of elastic is that it constricts circulation, which can not only be painful to the wearer, but can cause several complications for people with diabetes. The Diasock is therefore an essential tool in maintaining good foot care for diabetics.
A natural fibre cotton or wool sock is best to absorb sweat and moisture, which would otherwise be an ideal breeding ground for bacteria and infection. This will also help to reduce friction and allow the foot to breathe, thereby minimising blisters and ulcers from forming. One size sock does not fit all and therefore Diasock is available in four sizes ensuring comfort and a better fit.
