As diabetes is afflicting more people in the U.K than any other serious health condition, with one in ten Britons over the age of 40 living with the condition, using tools to help symptoms is vital to a huge percentage of the British population. Learning about ways to help improve symptoms of the disease is absolutely crucial, and heritage sock brand, HJ Hall, understands and has a line of diabetic friendly socks to help prevent poor circulation which many diabetics struggle with on a daily basis. The range has been accredited by the Institute of Chiropodists and Podiatrists, confirming its quality and effectiveness.
Based in Leicester, the brand has over 135 years of expertise, and is the largest sock manufacturer in the UK. The brand’s range of diabetic socks has a variety of features to alleviate issues caused by poor circulation. Firstly, with the use of non-restrictive elastic knit throughout the socks helps minimise compression and in turn alleviates tightness, improving comfort for swollen ankles. Secondly, a smooth-toe seam eliminates the chances of blistering by eliminating friction and pressure in the areas which are prone to sores and ulcers. Further cushioning on the socks keep the feet warm, improving blood circulation which is beneficial for the skin and the health of nerves in the feet.
