Diabetic socks are socks aimed at people with diabetes. Quite often, diabetic socks are designed without seams in order to reduce the chance of blistering.

In addition, diabetic socks may also be designed to control moisture in order to reduce risk of fungal infection or with cushioning to prevent foot ulcers. 

The ideal socks for people with diabetes will have the following features:

• Non-elasticated cuffs
• No prominent seams
• Keep in warmth (particularly for winter use)
• Allow feet to breathe and sweat to dry out (particularly for summer use)
