Actually, the diabetic socks thing is mostly marketing hype -- it is only an issue if your symptoms are advanced enough that your experiencing slow healing in the extremities, in which case you want to wear thick socks to avoid blisters and avoid socks that are tight around the calf that restrict circulation. Tom Schofield 125 St. Patricks Drive Danville, CA 94526 Well I wear white socks, just because I happen to have them and they are cheap by the bundle. ;-) I have a pair of diabetic socks that are black, but for the life of me i don't see the reason to pay extra for what appear to be no difference from regular socks. I am diabetic also. Wait, there is a difference, they fit real loose and scrunch down all the time, so I do have to keep pulling them back up all day long.
