What are Travel Compression Socks and Why You Need Them
Travel compression socks are socks that look like any other sock, but they don't feel like any other socks that you own. Travel compression socks are socks that are designed to make your legs, ankles and feet feel as if they are alive and energized even during times when you can't move around to get the blood flowing. Travel compression socks get the blood flowing for you.
Travel compression socks aren't just made for traveling, but they are called travel compression socks because they were designed with the traveler in mind. Have you ever been on a long airplane flight, in the window seat, where you just didn't have the room to stand up and move around, or couldn't get by the big, sleeping guy in the seat next to you? Then you know the need for travel compression socks.
Have you ever traveled a long distance in the back seat of a car, where you don't have anywhere to move your legs and your feet stay stationary for hours at a time because the driver won't Pull Over and let you out until he needs to stop for gas? Then you have experienced the feeling you get when you aren't getting the proper blood flow to your feet, ankles and lower legs. You know the need for travel compression socks; you just didn't know travel compression socks were available. Until now, that is.
When your feet and legs are immobile and getting no blood circulation to them, they will begin to swell and they will become first tingly, with the feeling of pins and needles going through them, and then they will become painful. Travel compression socks alleviate this pain and uncomfortable swelling by constantly compressing your feet, ankles and lower legs in order to allow the blood to flow better through them. With travel compression socks you won't even have the need to get up and move around as often, which means that you might just get where you want to go more quickly.
Finding travel compression socks to purchase might be a little tricky if you don't know exactly where to find them. One place to look is at your local pharmacy or if you have a medical supply store nearby. Look near the Ted Hose and medical Support Stocking section for them. You can also find travel compression socks online to order and have them sent directly to your home or office in plenty of time before your next long airplane or car ride.

Should a type2 diabetic wear 'Support' socks?
These socks constrict the lower leg. Supposedly this aids circulation and also reduces the swelling of the ankle. Now, all the 'diabetic' socks I've seen function just the opposite, they are quite loose fitting.
Anyone with good medical knowledge out there?
They are not the same, and even both are supposed to help with swelling problems, how they help is very different..
Diabetic socks are nonbinding, soft, and supposed to be without seams (which can irritate the feet and cause/worsen sores in diabetics who have nueropathy/poor circulation/poor glucose control) or, at least, specialy designs seams. Many diabetics also have edema in the feet and legs, so regular socks tend to pinch terribly around the cuff top. Good diabetic socks should also allow the feet to breathe (prevent moisture from leading to funus/bacteria problems).
Support socks are used to prevent swelling in people who have poor circulation (elderly, heart patients, diabetics) - BUT - you should always check with your doctor first. They push the edemic liquids back into the blood/lympth system and can cause increased difficulties with the heart/lung/kidneys in some patients. They can aggrivate/result in sores as well (the last thing a diabetic needs). They can be a little difficult to put on, and your skin SCREAMS when you take them off (trust me on that). If you use them, always get the lowest level of compression that you need.
Anastaci - they are expensive because they are made of special design and materials, and they last quite a while is washed/worn properly. They really are different from regular socks. Diabetics often have foot problems, including edema. Regular socks hurt (they aren't as soft, stretchy, and thick as people think, can cause overdrying of the skin, and wear out fairly fast). I love my diabetic socks and I've addicted my whole family to them. Support socks are even more specialized and made of expensive materials (but they also last for years if you take care of them properly - I have some that are over 10 years old, which I still wear on occassion, like when flying across the country - they can help prevent embolisms, which can be a problem in many airline passengers). Don't assume everything is a rip-off - lots of things are well worth the money if you need them.
