But diabetic neuropathy socks are designed specifically to lessen neuropathy symptoms of diabetes – so they can help to prevent the formation of wounds and blisters, lessen pain, tingling, and burning sensations in the feet, and they can be worn at night to decrease feelings of irritation from rubbing against bed sheets.
2) As diabetes can interfere with infection-fighting white blood cells, diabetics are at an increased risk of PERIODONTAL DISEASE – or infections of the gums and bones in your mouth. Therefore, it’s extremely important for diabetics to take special care of their gums and teeth. So visit your dentist for regular cleanings, and use quality toothpaste, dental floss, and mouthwash.
3) Damaged nerves in legs and feet can have trouble interpreting brain signals telling your legs and feet to release sweat, which can lead to a chronic lack of natural moisture and cracked skin, which increases the risk of bacterial and viral infections. Therefore, seek out creams which contain antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and hydrating ingredients, like SHEA BUTTER and JOJOBA OIL. They supply anti-inflammatory benefits, and can reduce redness while mitigating the effects of eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea.
4) Studies show that even a 30 minute post-meal walk can help to stabilize blood sugar levels. So all that you may need to purchase is a comfortable pair of walking shoes. Doctors recommend seeking out shoes with a SOFT ARCH SUPPORT SYSTEM, which can help to increase comfort while reducing pain. You can also find orthopedic arch support insoles sold separately, which can be inserted into your shoe for extra comfort and added shock absorption.
5) The American Diabetes Association recommends keeping your blood sugar between 80 and 130 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) in the morning, and in-between meals. And blood sugar should be kept under 180 mg/dL within two hours after eating. So inexpensive and effective glucose monitors can be an enormously beneficial tool to those who need to keep a close watch on their glucose readings.
