In 2005 it was determined that approximately 20.8 million people, 7% of the population, had diabetes. Unfortunately the disease is not curable, but it is treatable. By managing their glucose levels, taking their medications as directed, following a proper diet, and taking care of their body, diabetics can live a long and fulfilling life. However, they can’t do it alone. A diabetic patient needs special products and services in order to stay healthy. That is why Ken's Discount Drug is committed to providing the area with the widest selection of diabetic products and services available.

Diabetic Footwear

It’s a fact that one in four Americans will suffer from foot complications due to their diabetes. With Neuropathy (Nerve Damage) as a common side effect to diabetes, many diabetics lose sensation in their extremities. Once this happens it is easy for a diabetic to get a sore (blister, scratch, etc) on the bottom of their feet and not even know it. As the diabetic continues to walk on his or her feet the wound grows in size and severity. In some cases the end result can be as severe as gangrene and amputation.

That is why it is recommended for diabetics to wear shoes designed specifically for the diabetic foot. Many healthcare plans including Medicare cover most if not the entire cost of the shoe as well as three pairs of custom made inserts. Ken's Discount Drug has a specially trained staff that can mould a wide variety of shoe styles to your exact fit. If you are a diabetic patient who wants an extremely comfortable pair of shoes that also protects you from serious health risks, stop in and see one of our specialists today.

*It is also recommended that diabetics get a thorough foot examination at least once every year.
