No, this is not recommended. The natural inclination would be that a diabetic sock should be knit with cotton construction. Why not? It’s a natural yarn. In reality, cotton is the last type of material that should be used in a diabetic sock. Why? Cotton absorbs moisture and holds it next to the wearer’s skin. This increases the likelihood of infection, blisters, and sores. The Doctor’s Choice Diabetes-Neuropathy socks are knit out of moisture-wicking polyester yarns which draw water away from the skin to keep feet drier. Please always check with your medical provider as to which type of sock is best for you, and please note, that we are not able to provide you with recommendations for medical conditions as we are not medical professionals. |
