Benefits of Copper Socks as Diabetes Socks

When you live with diabetes, the socks you wear matter more than you might think. Diabetes socks are designed to be comfortable, gentle on your skin and easy to wear all day. Here's what to look for, and how Glucology socks are made.

What is a diabetes sock?

Diabetes socks are designed with the needs of people managing diabetes in mind. Look for:

  • Non-elasticated cuffs that don't dig in
  • No prominent seams that could rub
  • Extra cushioning for comfort
  • Fabric that helps manage moisture and lets your feet breathe
  • Warmth for colder months

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.

Classic socks vs Winter socks

Our Classic socks reach mid-calf and are a great everyday option. Our Winter socks use the same copper yarn but are extra padded for comfort and durability, making them ideal for boots, work, slippers or on the go. Winter socks come in full length (up to the calf) or quarter length (just above the ankle).

Look after your feet every day

Good socks are just one part of foot care. Check your feet daily for cuts, blisters, redness or swelling, keep your skin moisturized (but not between your toes), wear well-fitting shoes, and see a podiatrist if you notice any problems.
