How important are diabetic socks. i've tried them for two weeks and they drive me crazy since they won't stay up. i walk about 4-5 miles a day.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Socks: Socks don't have diabetes so there are no "diabetic' socks. Please go to a store such as Binson's (there are several other store - look them up on the web) and your problem will be over.
