Seeing as diabetics tend to develop a variety of foot problems, it’s recommended that they take their foot care seriously and wearing white socks can help them do that.
Most diabetics have reduced sensitivity in their feet, which means they may not feel wounds or injuries such as cuts, scrapes, bruises and more. If such injuries aren’t treated, it could lead to infection and complications.
The logic behind white socks is simple: they allow diabetics to easily notice blood or discharge from wounds and injuries they may not feel, and treat them as early as possible.
