About diabetes and the diabetic foot
Diabetes is a highly prevalent disease throughout the world. It is defined as a metabolic disorder, and there are two main types. Type 1 is an autoimmune disease, occurring primarily in children, in which the body's immune system destroys insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells. It occurs in 5-10% of patients with diabetes. Type 2 accounts for the remaining 90 to 95 percent, and is frequently found in people older than 45 years. It is associated with the physical inactivity of adolescents and the diets rich in sugars that are adopted today.

Orthotics
Wearing the right footwear and orthotics combination can help reduce risk factors and help relieve the pressure and friction on the parts of the foot that are more prone to ulcerations. Aetrex Conform Orthotics help protect the low-risk Diabetic Foot by customizing to the foot during the gait cycle, transferring pressure away from “hot spots” and providing shock absorption for extra protection.
