Diabetes Type 2 Support Group

Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...

Had to share--Socks

Years ago I found these absolutely wonderful socks. Haven't been able to find them for YEARS! I finally found them again! So I had to share the news.

These are the softest socks. I have severe pitting edema and am very obese. Nothing feels so good on cold, swollen feet than these socks. (Even better warm from the dryer.)

Check out www.footsmart.com. Item number 60543.

I just ordered 9 more pair!!

I like their socks too! I'm about 30 pounds over the limit right now... but Byetta is helping me along. I like the seamless ones! So worth the price!I also hate wearing footwear; so it makes it easier.

I can't wear these under shoes. They're too fluffy. :) But they do work great when I get home and take my shoes off.

I buy my nylon "knee-highs" from a different company for daily use.

I dont like wearing shoes or socks at all! I do when I go out though...lol......so these sound perfect for padding around in the winter, will look forward to wearing these when the weather gets colder...:0)

EXACTLY! I've never liked to have anything on my feet. I use to come home from work and the shoes would the first thing I took off.

These are expensive socks, but nice and thick at the foot but not too thick for the ankle. (I don't usually get a water ring around the ankle with these.)

check out JRS medical supply for the socks at a really good price. think they're called sensi-foot, come in white and blue. even then, sometimes my feet don't want socks on them at all. am having lots of trouble with my feet these past few months, trying to find the right shoes and orthotics. got to lose 25 or 30 pounds.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
