Do diabetic shoes work?
Diabetic shoes are considered preventative for diabetic ulcerations, not curative. Usually, if you already have a diabetic foot wound, you will need more aggressive off-loading than a diabetic shoe can provide by itself. You can still develop a foot ulcer while wearing a diabetic shoe, so it is important to examine your feet visually every day to look for signs of trouble: Red spots, calluses, cuts or other wounds are causes for concern. Make an appointment to see the doctor for evaluation.
