I really find this topic very helpful because I do have a relative who is suffering from diabetics and she will surely love this therapeutic socks very much. It this can increase the blood flow then it must be good for diabetic patients. I just hope it's already out in the market.

hi codeofuniverse wow I am a diabetic and have trouble with my legs swelling and the circulation.Sounds like those socks could really be
helpful to me. its hard to find socks that do not cut off your circulation and make dents in your ankles. I live here in Ca in the
U.S. and hope these come on the market soon.I hope they will not be
as expensive as some of the so called diabetic socks now on the market.but if they really helped I would love to try them.

That is great news to hear. I've had family members and friends that have suffered from diabetes and my cousin's mother lost both of her legs as a result of diabetes. The fact that there is something on the forefront that is going to help circulation for diabetics is spectacular news. I hope that it won't be too long before these will be available for individuals to buy to help them with their circulation.
