Many diabetics patients often worry about the different inconveniences that could arise during their travels. In the midst of physical examinations and medical preparations, many people tend to overlook one very important thing- your choice of socks!
Due to the amount of time we spend sitting and standing during a trip, your feet inevitably get numb and swell up. This is even more so in the case of diabetic patients- as they also experience poor blood flow. Hence making it all the more important to be picky and smart about the socks you wear.
So, what kind of socks should you be wearing while traveling?
