daniel replied to fastbill54's discussion 'diabetic socks'"Hey Bill,
My favorite pair of diabetic socks are from EcoSox. I like wearing over the calf socks. Anyway, these socks are non-binding and i believe seamless so nothing to rub against, however they are a bit on the thin side. Here is a link to where…"

LaGuitariste replied to fastbill54's discussion 'diabetic socks'"I have about a billion pairs of the Dr. Scholls diabetic/circulation socks. They're hard to find, so when I do find them I buy eight or ten pairs (always black).

fastbill54 replied to fastbill54's discussion 'diabetic socks'"I have some of those now,they are better than most i've tried,when i find the best i'll get many pairs at once.I use spenco insoles for my shoes for compression because i walk on concrete.
Thanks everybody for replying"
Anthony Holko replied to fastbill54's discussion 'diabetic socks'"Do you need compression or just padding? Cabelas.com has some good compression socks that I wore on our bus tour of Turkey. They also have good wool socks that give good padding."
Nancy replied to fastbill54's discussion 'diabetic socks'"I have bought my father Dr. scholl's diabetic socks. I don't think they last too terribly long, but he seems to really like them. They wick away the moisture and I think they provide a comfortable compression. I got them at Walmart so I am…"
Trudy replied to fastbill54's discussion 'diabetic socks'"I like Jobst. This is the only brand of diabetic socks that I have tried since I have seen no reason to try others. They are also available in many pharmacies. Good luck!"

You are still lucky, not to have to be injecting, which reduces your ability of when to eat. Don't feel down about this. You still have the bull by the horns and if I were you I would celebrate every single day. I have been injecting every day for 51 years and would feel very lucky to be in your shoes. Live it up!!!!

Donna H said… - You should check out some of the Type 2 groups and the groups about weightloss and diet. My guess is that you would add a lot of value to those groups with all you have been able to accomplish for yourself. I think all of us here hate our disease. It's nice to have a forum to talk about the concerns, questions, and feelings that come with that to a bunch of people who understand the situation completely because they are living it too.

Doris D said… - Totally agree! I took Type 1 when I was a kid of 10 and was told the cure for it was 10 years in the making. Well NOT YET! I even went so far as having a pancres transplant to "cure" it didn't work.
Type 1's are totally dependent on insulin b/c their pancres quit making it and MUST have shots (or pump like I do) to get the insulin in their body. The meds that work for Type 2 are insuffent to our systems and we must watch out carb intake. We must make sure we have enough insulin to cover the foods we eat or risk going way high. Type 2 do produce some insulin but it's not enough for their body's to main tain. Type 2's also get the tabelets to lower their b/s's and also can turn insuiln resestance. OK not good but just my take. It is probably wrong but that's what they thold me. Now if you get on our Foruum and ask MANY ppl will come in and tell you the modern version.
