Why Diabetics Need Custom Inserts
For individuals with diabetes, foot health is a top priority. Neuropathy, poor circulation, and pressure points can lead to foot ulcers, infections, and even amputations. Custom inserts—also known as orthotics or insoles—are designed to provide extra protection, support, and comfort.
Top Benefits of Custom Inserts for Diabetics
1. Reduce Pressure Points & Prevent Ulcers
✔ Diabetics often experience uneven pressure distribution in their feet.
✔ Custom inserts help evenly distribute weight, reducing pressure on sensitive areas.
✔ Less pressure = lower risk of ulcers, sores, and infections.
2. Improve Comfort & Shock Absorption
✔ Walking and standing for long periods can cause foot fatigue and pain.
✔ Custom orthotics provide extra cushioning and support for all-day comfort.
✔ Shock-absorbing materials protect feet from impact-related injuries.
3. Enhance Stability & Balance
✔ Diabetes can weaken muscles and nerves, leading to instability and falls.
✔ Custom inserts improve foot alignment and reduce the risk of falls.
✔ Extra arch support helps maintain proper posture and gait.
4. Support Foot Deformities & Prevent Further Damage
✔ Diabetic foot conditions like bunions, hammertoes, and Charcot foot require extra support.
✔ Custom inserts accommodate these deformities while preventing worsening complications.
✔ Special modifications can be made for partial foot amputations.
5. Promote Better Circulation & Reduce Swelling
✔ Poor circulation increases the risk of cold feet, swelling, and slow wound healing.
✔ Custom inserts help stimulate blood flow by reducing pressure on key areas.
✔ Proper foot support prevents fluid buildup and relieves discomfort.
Medicare-Covered Custom Inserts for Diabetics
The good news? Medicare covers three pairs of custom inserts per year for qualified individuals. When paired with Medicare-approved diabetic shoes, they provide the ultimate protection against foot complications.
