Great Start to American Diabetes Month

We want to thank you from the Diabetic Shoes HuB for a great start to the month of November. This year for American Diabetes Month, we are going to donate 5 percent of all sales to fund diabetes research in an effort to stop the life threatening disease. The more that is known about diabetes, the easier it is to treat it.

In the meantime, we can all continue to work together to increase diabetes awareness. Awareness is the first step to prevention. Other things to do for yourself are getting on the right track to the right diet, getting enough sleep, and of course, exercising. Remember; workouts do not have to be rigorous and can as simple as a walk after dinner.

New Diabetic Dress Socks from Ecosox

Because the original bamboo socks from Ecosox did so well, we have just added the new diabetic dress socks from Ecosox. Much like the diabetic crew sock, these have a larger sock top helps prevent marks on swollen legs. They wick away moisture and keep the foot dry with the anti-static material which also helps to prevent blisters. The socks come in four great colors, khaki, tan, black, and navy which give you options for your work day. The anti-static properties of the bamboo socks prevent skin irritation such as blisters that can easily turn into much more severe foot problems such as ulcers, non-healing wounds as well as infections that can all lead to amputations. Stop by the HuB and checkout the new diabetic dress socks today.

Drew Pioneer Diabetic Boots – Back By Popular Demand

For today’s post, we are featuring a great pair of diabetic boots that Drew Shoe has revitalized. These men’s boots are not only ideal for diabetics, but they also create their own category as a unique “comfort boot.” The footwear back from Drew is the Pioneer Boot. The Drew Pioneer Boot in brown and the Drew Pioneer Boot in black offer men double the added depth, providing 20 percent more in shoe capacity than traditional footwear. The footbed in the Pioneer is moldable to minimizes friction, cushion impact, and molds to the contour of the foot. It’s no wonder these boots were brought back from Drew.

Sheepskin Clogs for Women

Are you getting ready for Christmas shopping (or have you at least thought about it? Well we have the perfect idea for the women and girls in your life, the sheepskin clog. The sheepskin clogs are built for easy on-off fitting so they’re great on the go and they can even be worn for everyday use. The versatility comes from the 1″ slip resistant out sole on the clogs. There are three great colors available:

The sheepskin clog wraps the users feet with authentic sheepskin lining, while still keeping feet warm and dry. The dryness is maintained by circulating the moisture through the sheepskin where it evaporates. The clog is also designed with an authentic cowhide suede exterior, which is soil and water resistant.

The black women’s Mary Jane Stretch Shoes are stretchable and washable making them easy to clean accommodate the fit for anyone. They conform to the contours of the foot, which allows them to accommode foot deformities, and eliminate pressure on feet with lesions, poor circulation, and edema. For a pair of women’s sandals that have have been proven to work wonders for people suffering from Plantar Fasciiatis, the women’s wide shoes have become a trusted pair to get the job done.

Diabetes Month 2009 – What the Diabetic Shoes HuB is Doing

We all need to do our part for National Diabetes Month coming up very shortly. So short in fact, that it is a mere 3 days away. Although the celebration and cause should be every day, it is a time of remembrance and rekindling any emotion that may have been scattered throughout the year. You may recall that we noted the upcoming American Diabetes Month in November, but now, we want to tell how we are doing more, to Stop Diabetes!

Contributions have been made from the Diabetic Shoes HuB to support friends and family members as they walk for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation coming up on Saturday here in Phoenix. Along with that, comes a commitment to help increase awareness and fund research to learn more about this monstrous disease, and prevent it from consuming more. The Diabetic Shoes HuB is doing this by pledging a donation. Five percent of all sales during November, National Diabetes Month, is going to go to the American Diabetes Association to help save the lives of many, and increase the quality of life for so much more. Our involvement with the community will continue to grow, and hopefully encourage others to join the cause to help Stop Diabetes. Let’s all take this step together battle against diabetes continues.

Finn Comfort Shoes Now on The HuB

We wanted to find a great manufacturer that let quality speak for itself. A brand that promotes health with precision design. The result, is Finn Comfort. Each shoe from Finn Comfort is hand-stitched and meticulously hand crafted in Germany. We were fortunate to be able to develop a relationship with the fine representatives of Finn Comfort because of the pride and dedication that they put into each and every shoe.

November is American Diabetes Month

November is just around the corner, and every November is American Diabetes Month. Last year, we worked together to help increase diabetes awareness with the American Diabetes Association but this year, they’re looking to take the next step in a national movement and Stop Diabetes altogether by helping to get the word out and fight the disease. Here are some interesting statistics that really get you thinking:

* 24 million children and adults in the United States live with diabetes
* 57 million Americans are at risk for type 2 diabetes
* 1 out of every 3 children born today will face a future with diabetes if current trends continue

The numbers above were pulled from the diabetes.org website. If those trends aren’t alarming, then I don’t know what is. These are some inspiring numbers so tell your friends, your families, and join in to help Stop Diabetes.
