WHY DIAPRO

A person with diabetes has to be wary of losing sensation in their feet, which occurs gradually; as blood flow is impeded to the extremities, bumps and calluses harm the soft tissues and can cause the person real damage.

​

The nerve damage that characterises diabetic peripheral neuropathy is common in diabetic patients. As diabetic peripheral neuropathy progresses, various nerves are affected. These damaged nerves encourage the development of ulcers.

​

We have all experienced “Off the shelf” footwear that rub the skin

raw in one place, push in another and feel uncomfortable. If you are

diabetic, you have to ensure these things don’t happen to you.

​

This is precisely where DIAPRO comes in to help!

What You Need

  • A shoe with adjustable closures like Hooks and Loops that conform to the shape of your foot to provide you with the best fit.
     

  •  A high and wide toe box to prevent chafing and pinching to protect your toes from harm.
     

  • A seamless shoe without any irritable stitching or rough spots that could potentially cause inflammation and irritation.

  • An extra-protective shoe to help alleviate the every day wear and tear on already sensitive diabetic feet. A critical consequence of diabetes is a greater risk of developing blisters, bleeding and lesions on your feet. 
     

  • A shoe with extra depth and padding to shield the foot and provide sufficient space for possible accommodation orthotics, if necessary.                                                                

  • A proper, custom fitting insole that supports the sole of the foot and helps take pressure off of critical areas like the heel and ball of the foot.
