How often should I replace my diabetic socks?

People with diabetes and nerve damage should wear socks every day to protect their feet from injury. There are special socks called diabetic socks designed with special features for people with diabetes. Diabetic socks work by providing a

  • a physical layer of protection for your feet
  • keeping your feet dry
  • and provide cushioned support

Wearing diabetic socks is such an important part of caring for your feet, it's also important to take care of your socks. You should wear a fresh clean pair of diabetic socks every day, and make sure that you are replacing your diabetic socks regularly.

When do I need to replace my diabetic socks?

Diabetic socks should be replaced every three to six months. The life of your socks will depend on how you wear them, the activity you do while wearing your socks, and how you take care of your socks.

You should replace your socks if you notice any of the following:

  • Holes or rips in the fabric of the socks
  • Loss of cushion or sock support
  • Fraying of sock fabric
  • If you notice your socks are becoming thin
  • If you notice the socks stretching out

About Siren Socks

Siren Socks are smart socks that help detect potential issues with your feet. Siren Socks are an FDA-registered Class I medical device and are designed for people living with diabetes and neuropathy. The socks measure your foot temperature. Temperature monitoring has been shown to help reduce the number of diabetic foot ulcers in multiple clinical studies over the past 20 years and is considered the gold standard in diabetic foot care. The information from the socks is monitored by licensed nurses who contact you regularly to check on your health and the status of your feet. Your doctor reviews any issues that arise and determine if a clinic visit is necessary. Siren Socks are covered by Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and many private insurance plans.
