Can someone suggest to me inexpensive, but comfortable diabetic socks?
I would like to find some that have a nice thick comfortable sole?
Also, I wear a size 10 shoe. Should I get socks that are size 9-11 or 10-13.
Thanks for any feedback. - sam

Hi Sam,
If you can find a copy of Diabetes Forecast, or a Dr. Leonard's catalog, you'll find advertisements for diabetic socks. I don't think they're terribly expensive.
As for size, I would buy the size 9-11, I think. I'm thinking that if you get the size 10-13, they very well might be big enough to bunch up on you, which could definitely cause a problem with your feet (such as a blister, raw spot, etc.). What size sock are you wearing now? I'd just order the same size.

Thank you Ruth. There are socks on eBay that I can get for a good price, and I am happy to hear what you said about the size. It is exactly what I thought, but was a little concerned about shrinking when washed. The they might be to small. They are made of cotton. I have a few pairs of diebetic socks now, but
they feel too large. I appreciate your advice and I will take it. - sam
