Insoles can help Diabetes
BY: FIXIFOOT PHILIPPINES - APRIL 22, 2021
Diabetes is a medical condition that is rapidly affecting people each year. As the medical industry tries to make research for more preventive measures, people should need to be aware to take precautionary measures when it comes to foot care.
Having diabetes means of greater risk of developing foot problems. This may develop from a combination of causes including poor circulation and neuropathy. Diabetic Neuropathy can cause insensitivity or a loss of ability to feel pain, heat, and cold. They may easily develop minor cuts, scrapes, blisters, or pressure sores that they may not be aware of.
Researchers conclude that selecting the correct cushioning stiffness in footwear can significantly reduce pressures experienced on the feet which can lead to ulcers and other painful complications.
Here are the reasons why Insoles can help Diabetes in many ways:
1. REDUCING THE RISK OF INJURY
Diabetics with neuropathy commonly cannot feel high pressures, friction, and pinching on the soles of their feet, which often leads to blisters and other open wounds that increase the risk of infection.
Orthotic insoles offer protective cushioning to the soles of the feet to reduce the risk of injury. It can help support the arch of your feet while providing maximum shock absorption that can withstand difficult conditions under heavy load that can help improve postural stability and reduce the risk of falls.
2. PREVENTS HAMMERTOES, CLAW TOES, AND OTHER DEFORMITIES OF THE JOINTS
People with diabetes may cause weakness of the small muscles in the foot causing toe deformities, especially if the foot is in an unstable position due to overpronation.
Orthotic Insoles help avoid pressure sores from developing as a result of friction inside the shoe. The comfortable cushioning layer helps prevent overpronation as they evenly distribute body weight over the entire surface of the foot, therefore, relieving pain and reducing friction and pressure on the foot.
3. IMPROVES BLOOD CIRCULATION IN THE FEET
Another cause of foot pain in those that are affected by diabetes is having problems with circulation. Because of the high levels of blood sugar in the blood vessels, artery walls can thicken as well as form calcium deposits. Because of this, the flow of fresh blood to the body’s tissues may become inhibited thus causing some pain in the foot.
Customized Insoles for diabetes are excellent for promoting blood flow by providing maximum comfort and prevents muscle fatigue through a protective cushioning that gently caresses the feet during ambulation.
