Before they were called diabetic socks they were called support socks. They have a lot of elastic in them so they will compress your ankles and calves and stimulate your circulation. Diabetics have circulation problems. These support socks are supposed to help with that.

People who fly often are told to wear them too because sitting in a cramped plane for a long time is bad for leg circulation for some people.Health Question & Answer

They are designed to compress your legs less not more, and also may have a less bulky seam at the toe. If you have foot issues with your diabetes, speak to your endocrinologist or podiatrist to help you decide if you need to change your socks. I see these diabetic socks are way more expensive than the regular socks!Health Question & Answer
