Thank you for all your replies.
The feet of people of people with diabetes are high risk areas and should be subject to special care and attention.
The main benefits of Carnation Silversocks for diabetics are:
The silver eliminates 99.9% of bacteria in less than one hour of exposure which as suggested by lovinglife reduces the risk on infections.
The socks help feet maintain a regulated temperature so they get neither too hot nor too cold - this could go unnoticed by diabetics.
The socks have their seams on the outside, there is a risk that diabetics would not feel any rubbing and friction caused by a seam on the inside as in most socks.
