        Loss of sensitivity

        Diabetes 'clogs' the small vessels, starting with the capillaries (microangiopathy). The eye is the first to be affected, followed by the other small vessels. The foot is the organ furthest from the heart, so its blood vessels are particularly susceptible to blockages. With the loss of blood and nutrient supply, the foot loses sensitivity due to a reduction in nerve fibers. The feet no longer respond to temperature and lose sensitivity to touch. Foot injuries occur easily, even when walking. Sustained high sugar levels can lead to sores on the bottom of the foot, where pressure is greatest. Tissue healing is poorer in diabetics, and wounds take longer to heal because the body's own regeneration is slower.

        Regular foot care is essential for this disease. When it comes to hygiene, the main focus should be on the safety of the skin.

        Metallic, sharp and cutting objects should not be used. Nails should not be filed too short, and calluses should be removed with a special pumice stone. The temperature of the water should be checked by hand before washing your feet.

        'One of the basic rules for diabetes is to always check the soles of the feet on both sides. If redness, swelling, dark spots, or pus occur, you should see your doctor immediately.Sergey Aleksutov, orthopedic traumatologist and podiatrist at the First Orthopedic Salon Network Orteka, gives readers a comment.

        There are also special diabetes schools that inform you about nutrition and exercise, insulin, diabetes medications and much more.

        Routine check-ups with your doctor

        You should be examined by a foot specialist – a podiatrist – at least once a year. In addition to this specialist, diabetic feet are also treated by endocrinologists, surgeons, podiatrists and orthopedists.

        The main treatment is to correct blood sugar levels and improve the nutrition of the foot tissues.

        To diagnose diabetic foot syndrome, ultrasound of the lower limbs, electromyography and tests are used.

        A surgeon should be consulted if trophic ulcers occur that do not heal over a long period of time. Darkening or redness of the toes, swelling of the foot and a local increase in temperature may also indicate a purulent necrotic process. Any trophic ulcer is a gateway to infection and requires a visit to a specialist as soon as possible.

        Orthoses for diabetics

        Diabetic foot is considered one of the most serious complications of diabetes. Orthoses are a product that can significantly improve the patient's quality of life. Insoles also help to avoid many inconveniences, keep the foot in the correct position and improve blood circulation.

        Why is it worth using them?

        A large proportion of people suffer from metabolic and circulatory disorders. For this reason, many diabetics develop the following problems:

        In the case of diabetes, special insoles that adapt to the shape of the foot and contribute to maximum comfort when walking are of great importance.

        Untitled Project-1.jpg

        Special features of orthoses

        Orthotics have a number of differences from normal shoe inserts. They have the following characteristics:

        • Distributes the load evenly across the foot;
        • accommodates the curvature of the foot;
        • Various materials with different degrees of stiffness are used to produce the therapeutic insoles;
        • The product quickly absorbs moisture and allows the skin to breathe;
        • Easy to clean and disinfect.

        The use of special insoles significantly slows the progression of diabetic foot disease and prevents it from reaching a more serious stage. However, the insoles will not serve their purpose if they are poorly selected.

        Untitled Project-3.jpg

        How to choose them?

        With the right insoles, most diabetic foot problems can be managed.

        How to choose the right insoles

        Only the right insoles can protect against the complications of diabetic foot disease. When choosing, care should be taken to ensure that they meet these requirements:

        • They must be made of high quality, porous materials;
        • soft, without rigid protuberances or projections;
        • Thickness between 2 and 10 mm;
        • Length no more than 10 mm above the foot.

        The right orthopedic brace can help prevent serious foot deformities. It is important that the choice is made by a specialist who takes into account the condition of the patient's feet.

        Features of insoles for diabetics

        If a person is diagnosed with diabetes, it is necessary to take special care of the health of the feet. This disease is accompanied by reduced sensitivity of the nerves and difficulty in blood circulation in the vessels of the feet. The risk of infections and injuries is therefore greatly increased.

        Diabetic foot syndrome is also common among patients. Bones and joints become damaged and ulcers form. Acquired wounds do not heal well, so abrasions and other trauma should be avoided.

        The use of orthoses for the diabetic foot allows several important effects:

        • They offer good cushioning. This significantly reduces the strain on the foot.
        • The pressure on the heel and toes is reduced. This reduces the risk of corns and blisters. It also reduces the impact load on the midfoot and heel that can occur when walking.
        • Increased walking comfort. By maintaining proper foot alignment, you will be less tired after a hard day at work.

        The high quality of the product's manufacture speaks in favor of purchasing orthopedic insoles for diabetic feet. They have a high level of protection against mechanical wear and are hygienic.

        Benefits of Talus Diabetic Insoles

        The design of the Talus diabetic insoles has been specifically developed to relieve this type of suffering and improve the quality of life. The insoles have no rigid parts and are made of materials of different stiffness to avoid friction. The skin of the foot is very sensitive to such conditions, which is why the quality and rigidity of the materials is very important.

        The insoles are made of three layers. The top layer is a durable fabric that absorbs moisture. This coating does not cause any injuries to sensitive feet. The middle layer is made of EVA material. This material has a memory effect. It relieves pressure points and adapts to the shape of the foot when worn. Signatex material under the foot absorbs excess moisture and has a bacteriostatic effect.

        The insoles for diabetics have special replacement pieces so that they can be used effectively in cases of sensory disorders in the foot, partial amputation or trophic ulcers.

        The individual insoles are made from an impression of the foot and take its unique parameters into account. As a result, they restore the physiologically correct alignment of the foot, help eliminate leg pain and fatigue, align the spine and improve overall health.

        Indications for use:

        • For sensory disorders of the foot
        • with partial amputation
        • in trophic ulcers.

        Before treatment, the feet are diagnosed by a qualified technician who identifies in detail all the problems and individual characteristics of the feet. After the diagnosis, an impression of the foot is made in German orthopedic foam. On this basis, a podiatrist in the foot orthopedic laboratory creates your individual insole.

        How to choose shoes for a person with diabetes?

        'The right footwear is well-fitting, not too loose but not too tight, firm enough to protect the foot from injury and soft enough to prevent blisters. The inside of the shoe is made of a soft material that does not pinch the foot. – says Olga Chizhevskaya.

        Therefore, according to the expert, it is not necessary to specifically look for medical orthopedic shoes. Shoes made from high-quality materials (soft leather and textiles) that are robust enough to protect against injuries on uneven, bumpy roads are suitable. The sole material must be elastic enough to provide cushioning. This can be a foam with special air pores inside.

        'When choosing orthopedic insoles, you should also pay attention to the material (preferably viscoelastic insoles made of a soft material) and the manufacturing technology (orthopedic insoles should be tailored as precisely as possible to the parameters of the foot). A high-quality, custom-made orthopedic insole that supports the natural arch of the foot helps minimize pressure on overloaded areas of the foot and optimizes movement. When used regularly, it prevents common injuries and bone deformations (so-called 'bone deformities'). Such insoles can be used for various types of everyday shoes: boots, sneakers, closed summer shoes, low shoes, according to the specialist.

        Such insoles can be used for different types of everyday shoes: boots, sneakers, closed summer shoes, low shoes, says the expert.

        Which shoes you can choose yourself

        'You can choose sports shoes yourself: look for models for professional athletes. This is currently one of the best alternatives for diabetics when special shoes are not available. Open shoes (sandals, high-heeled sandals) should be avoided,' says Olga Chizhevskaya.

        If you have any questions about choosing safe footwear, you should consult a podiatrist or orthopedist, the specialist recommends. Let's not forget that slippers are also important. Soft slippers are not a substitute for orthopedic footwear, and since most diabetics spend most of their time at home, the choice of home footwear should be made carefully.

        Special features of shoes

        women's shoes and Diabetic shoes for men differ in several design features:

        • The special construction of the sole. In normal shoes, this part is very stiff - you can check this by bending the shoe with your hand. In diabetic shoes, this part is much softer so that the toes can be protected.
        • Sophisticated sole construction. This type of product has a rigid sole – it is stiffer and more durable than traditional models. This means the load is distributed appropriately. The construction also includes a special thickening that allows the foot to roll when walking. The low instep of the forefoot is one of these features.
        • No arching of the inner toe. The surface is free of protruding seams and other elements that could injure the skin. This is achieved through the use of a special cut.
        • Increased internal volume. Inside there is always room to add another insole and significantly increase comfort.

        The features also include the use of high-quality materials. Both synthetic materials and natural leather can be used for production. Great attention is also paid to the interior decoration, which is made of hygroscopic materials.
