Diabetic foot insoles

What are diabetic foot insoles and what are they for?

People with diabetes suffer from many problems and pathologies in their feet. This is logical since they are the most distant and distal parts of the body and bear the greatest effort, with circulation problems, infections, overpressure, etc. Diabetic foot insoles should be made of slow memory materials in order not to be aggressive in pressure areas. On the other hand, they should not have protruding or harmful elements.

How do these insoles work?

There are semi-finished insoles with these materials, although it is usually the professional who makes them. Semi-finished insoles save a lot of manufacturing time and it is only necessary to make small adjustments to the bottom of the insole with the help of a heat gun to finish adapting them to the patient's needs. They are usually made of slow memory materials. These materials cause the material to depress under pressure without causing pain in the hyperpressure area, and then slowly regain their original shape.

How often should diabetic foot insoles be replaced?

Diabetic foot insoles can be made from a variety of materials. That is why the duration can also be very varied. The best advice is to consult a good professional who will indicate, based on their experience, when the insoles should be replaced. It should be noted that, even if the insole appears to be in good condition, it may need some correction that only a professional can perform.
