Socks

Surprisingly, the Diabetes UK website does not include socks for diabetics in their "shop" Can anyone recommend extra wide soft-top socks that (a) really are extra-wide and (b) do not cost a fortune?

Although my husband isn't diabetic, he does have problems with nerve damage in his feet through chemo. Over the past year or so he's been wearing these from Amazon...... they wash as new.

I get socks from an English company, based in Leicester. Their range includes diabetes socks, soft top, and extra wide soft top socks for both men and women. I find them excellent quality.

I've been wearing Corrymoor socks for years. They do a Soft-Top, which is just right for sensitive ankles.

Sea Salt bamboo sailor socks do the trick for me , no more cutting in lines around the ankles when I take them off and as a bonus my fungal nail infection on my big toes which I had for decades has disappeared I guess from the wicking process of the bamboo , other bamboo socks are of course available .

You won't, unless you set your preferences to do that. I have email notifications disabled but get alerts on the forum at the top right of the screen, next to the username. Obviously I log in to see those.

On a side note, if I find a thread that interests me, I choose (watch) at top of thread.

Not sure if @KennyA is referring to same thing, but I too choose 'no emails'

Posts I make, automatically GET me a notification if someone else 'likes' or responds to MY post.

The thread notification keeps me aware if ANYONE responded in the entire thread .

Good luck on sockhunt .
