What is diabetes?

The disease results from the damage of pancreas cells. The damaged cells lose the ability to produce insulin. Without insulin, the muscle cell is unable to build enough glycogen. As the glycogen is the fuel of the muscle energy generation, the muscle cells gets into acute dynamic weakness in case of insulin deficiency. Pancreas is a very important organ and it is necessary to keep it fully functional if possible.
Intestine, liver, gall bladder, spleen, kidneys are often pre-damaged and suffer further limitations from diabetes. It results in hemoconcentration, a decrease in blood flow velocity and in an oxygen deficit.

Of the 16 million Americans with diabetes, 25% develop foot problems related to the disease. Diabetes causes nerve damage (diabetic neuropathy), that causes pain and loss of feeling in your feet. This can cause cuts, wounds, infections unknowingly. 

Diabetes also lowers the amount of blood flow in your feet thus making it hard for a wound/infection to heal. It can cause gangrene, thus amputations. Good foot care is extremely necessary to prevent this.

Footwear plays an important role in diabetic foot care. 

Diabetic Footwear should provide the necessary benefits like increased blood circulation and nerves sensation, wide toe box, massaging to reduce pressure in the areas of the foot most susceptible to pain, anti-fungal, minimal or seamless stitching etc.

Von Wellx Germany diabetes shoes are based on internationally patented reflex zones technology. It was invented by famous German Dr. Walter Mauch. 

Based on Reflexology the elevations work by massaging the pressure points where nerves of important diabetic organs – pancreas, liver, kidney, spleen and etc. end in the feet. 

It is just like walking barefoot on grass thus increasing blood circulation and oxygen. Due to the stimulation of the feet´s reflex-zones, the nerve sensation in the feet is also activated. 

It is about science, proved by decades of work, practice and research of pioneers like Dr. Ingham, Mrs. Hanne Marquardt and Dr. med. Walter Mauch.

Von Wellx provides additional benefits for diabetic foot care:

• Massage increases blood flow
• Massage increases nerve sensation
• Special Pressure Absorbing Insoles – Reduce joint stress. Even Weight distribution prevents calluses & corn formation
• Wide Toe Box – Does not squeeze toes or restrict blood supply. Also accommodate bunions.
• Adjustable – Accommodates any swelling and avoids any pressure.
• Firm Heel Counter – Provides lateral and medial foot stability & grip
• Anti Fungal, bacterial treatment – Avoid Infections
• Seamless Padded Lining & Minimum joints – Prevents blisters, friction & shoe bite and provides maximum comfort 

After being sold in 80 countries and loved by over 100 million customers it has now come to India. It’s available at Metro & Mochi stores nation-wide.

Note: Our reflex-zone insole for diabetics does not replace a therapy, but has a therapy supportive and concomitant function.
