Shoes comfortable or not, feet know. But there is high blood sugar, the feet will not know, so diabetics choose to choose shoes must understand these considerations for choosing shoes.
We choose shoes of course we will choose shoes that make our feet comfortable, this is a very understandable truth for anyone.
And of course there are women who love to look good and need to choose high heels, these are no problem, the feet will weed out the shoes that make you uncomfortable.
But for diabetics, diabetic shoes are very, very important! Especially patients with a longer history, poorer glycemic control, and older age.
Because the function of the blood vessels and nerves of the lower limbs of this part of the patient is relatively poor, and the sensation is sluggish, and there is a slower or no perception of any discomfort coming from the foot, so that when the foot appears to be abraded, broken, ulcerated, etc., it cannot be dealt with in time, and this will lead to serious consequences for the foot, resulting in amputation or life-threatening injuries.
Patients with diabetic feet have traditionally been one of the more stressful conditions for doctors in the diabetes department. The most frequent instruction is to make sure that you check your feet carefully, and that any breakage, redness, or swelling must be treated promptly in the hospital.
Admitted patients are routinely examined for vascular and neurologic aspects, such as palpation, pain, temperature, vibration, etc., and nerve conduction.

Another is the diabetic's shoes, to wear comfortable, reduce wearing new shoes, try to wear cloth shoes, leather shoes and sports shoes, should not wear sandals, slippers, shoes with thick soles, soft soles, do not wear high heels.
In patients with Charcot joints and foot deformities, specially tailored shoes are needed to reduce localized pressure on the soles of the feet and reduce the appearance of ulcers and breakouts.
Shoes should fit well, with a wider, longer toe so that the toes have room to move. Shoes that are too tight or too loose can cause wear and tear on the feet.
Shoes and socks should be dry, clean and changed when you notice moisture. Do not walk barefoot and minimize walking on gravel roads.
It is better to buy shoes at noon, when the light is bright and it is better to be accompanied by someone. Don't wear the new shoes for too long, but gradually adapt to them, or ask someone with the same shoe size to wear them for a while first. When you wear new shoes, you should pay attention to checking whether your feet will be red and swollen.

Socks are required to be soft, well-fitting and absorbent. It is best to choose cotton socks or woolen fabrics and try not to wear chemical fiber and hand-knitted socks. Wash your socks every day and replace them when they are wet. Don't wear broken socks and don't repair them. The cuff of the socks should be elasticized properly, wearing socks with strangulation marks means they are too tight. It is best to wear white socks, so that it is easier to find blood on the socks, etc. However, long-term lesions of diabetic patients have deviated vision, it is best to carry out daily foot inspection by family members for breakage, ulcers, redness and other abnormalities.
Buying or wearing shoes for diabetic foot patients is not quite the same as ordinary people, and there are some contraindications to avoid. Diabetic foot patients have different degrees of lesions occurring in the toes, palms, heels, backs of the feet and ankles, and blood circulation in the feet is restricted. Injuries to the foot are prone to spread of infection, and wounds or ruptures do not heal easily. In order to ensure smooth blood circulation in the lower limbs and not to injure the feet due to friction and extrusion, there are certain requirements and contraindications for shoes and socks to be worn on a daily basis.
