The Benefits of Bamboo Work Socks

Proper foot care is crucial for diabetes management. Any preventative measures that can help reduce complications should be part of a treatment plan. While it is well-known that socks are important for diabetics, there are better options. For people with diabetes, Bamboo Socks -made viscose can provide multiple benefits as a safer alternative to traditional sock fabrics.

Why bamboo?

· Bamboo is a natural fiber that has been grown without the use of pesticides and chemicals. After it has been processed, bamboo is very soft and similar to a rich cotton fibre.

· Bamboo is 60% more effective than cotton in wick protection. This keeps the foot dry and lowers the chance of athlete's feet or toenails fungus.

· Bamboo is hypoallergenic and non-irritating, making it great for sensitive skin. Diabetes sufferers have dry, sensitive skin.

· Bamboo has antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-static properties.

· Bamboo is both durable and eco-friendly. Bamboo absorbs greenhouse gases and makes more oxygen than trees, up to 35% higher than the equivalent amount.

· Bamboo is comfortable for the foot and doesn't feel bulky. This reduces the chance of blister formation.

· Bamboo is sustainable and renewable. It grows quickly and can be replanted easily, since it is a grass.

· Bamboo's thermo regulating properties help keep your feet cool in summer and warm in winter. Due to problems with circulation, diabetes patients often experience difficulty controlling temperature.

· The Panda bear eats bamboo, but not the "Moso", which is used to make socks.

· Bamboo socks can be easily maintained by washing them in a regular machine and drying them on low heat.

· Bamboo is naturally UV protected without the use of any chemicals. This can prevent sunburn for those with diabetes.
