Copper Socks and Diabetes Foot Care: What to Know

by IBD Medical on February 26, 2025

Glucology copper diabetes socks

Living with diabetes means paying extra attention to your feet. Small problems like a blister or cut can be easy to miss, so a good daily routine matters. Comfortable socks are one simple part of it.

Why foot care matters with diabetes

Over time, diabetes can affect the nerves and blood vessels in your feet. Reduced feeling can mean you don't notice an injury straight away, and reduced blood flow can slow healing. That's why daily foot checks, good footwear and regular professional foot exams are so important.

What to look for in a diabetes sock

  • A non-binding top that doesn't dig in
  • Minimal seams to reduce rubbing
  • Cushioning for comfort
  • Moisture-wicking fabric to help keep feet dry

Why copper yarn?

Copper is well known for its natural antimicrobial properties, which is why it's built into the yarn of every pair of Glucology socks. Paired with moisture-wicking fabric, it helps keep your feet feeling fresh and dry all day.

Glucology socks are FDA Listed – Class I and come in unisex US shoe sizes 5–15.

Socks are one part of the picture

Socks don't replace medical care. Check your feet every day, wear well-fitting shoes, and see your doctor or podiatrist promptly if you notice a cut, blister, redness, swelling or any change that worries you. For more tips, read our guide to diabetes foot care.
