There are numerous foot care products marketed for diabetics, some genuine and some of dubious value. It can be difficult to pick and choose which products are suitable, given the variety available. While I do not have personal experience with many of these products, the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) has compiled a list of approved products that may help making a decision easier. These products have been granted the APMA Seal of Acceptance or Approval, which for foot and ankle products is a favorable award and generally indicates a beneficial product of significant value. The link to this list can be found below. Included are footwear, socks, moisturizers, wound cleansers, and other diabetes complication-related foot products.
