Is this a good blanket to keep diabetic feet warm?

It is my understanding that diabetics are advised NOT to use heated pads or blankets on their feet. I would check with your doctor or endo.

Yes ... it's a good wrap ...you can wrap it he foot around the 3 or 4 times ! I use it every night

Yes. Although these aren't a heavy weight sock, they are very warm for wearing in a cold house without slippers.

My foot was always wrapped because of being broken then having surgery and it got really cold. If your area is bare I would lay a wash cloth or something first because it does get frosty on the outside and it is cold.

Not real soft, but not bad. Is hard to explain. I have diabetes, so feet bother me. I wanted it primarily so I wouldn't slip. Sorry I couldn't help more!

It was used for a double thickness throw for my granddaughter. It keeps her warm and is very soft.

Before I bought one I would have said no. I know now that on some nights I have to stick my feet out to cool myself a bit. I am a hot natured person, but I truly think this will be all I need this winter along with my quilt on top of it of course. Its not as hot as my down cover was or as bulky, but it is nice and toasty. And I gotta add it is really soft too. I don't think you will complain about being cold.

I am buying these for my brother, who is a quite overweight and has diabetic foot problems. I believe it does protect his heels quite a bit. However as far as how far up the heel it goes, I would not know without looking at one as he stands on it on the bare floor. All I know is that he says it really helps out- really makes his feet feel better.

I would think you would ask a doctor that question. If your foot is warm but your toes remain cold that sounds more like a circulation problem not a warmth problem. All I know is that my feet stayed toasty, and consequently I didn't get chilled when wearing the socks. Great stuff.

I bought this blanket few months ago, it works good for me, it's only have 1 setting, it doesn't get really hot, but that's what I need to cover from my waist down to my leg, because I have hot flushes, so I don't need to cover the whole body. Other people said there is odor come from the blanket, mine doesn't have any smell. I got the red plaid one. So far I'm happy with it

What? there is no battery. These are socks that are very thick and dense. Soft and extremely warm. I have diabetes and my feet are always unbearably cold. These socks are a lifesaver. I have three pairs of my own, and I purchased two pairs for my son. The socks are worn by me 24/7 , and they seem to last forever. I don,t recall when I got my first pair, but I think it was last winter , and I can,t tell that pair from the others.

yes, as long as it is not too wet or slushy. feet stay warm and toasty and covered, but NOT water proof.

I would say yes. The foot area is cushioned but not so thick you can't get shoes on.and the calf part is thinner and nice and loose which I need with my diabetic swelling.

I'm pretty sure they don't want you to use either a heated mattress pad (my fav way to stay warm when it's cold) or even an electric blanket but go to their website and make sure for yourself.

I don't think it'll be a good knee warmer. Its relatively thin (perhaps to keep cool while you work out). Has the thickness of a beret, or two fleece jackets layered over each other. Very polyester-y in feel as well, so I don't think that traps heat well.

I've had this blanket for the last two winters, now is on the bed for my third winter. I love it. I have a plain fleece blanket under it and a light comforter over it (with a top sheet over all, to catch cat fur and paw prints). I think the layering helps the heat build up, as well as protecting it from pulling and damaging the wires when adjusting covers during sleep. It is not super hot like a heating pad would be but is plenty warm for me. I usually pre-heat for 15 min or so while getting ready for bed. It is nice and warm when I get in, and often I turn it down or even off at that point. I've had this blanket for the last two winters, now is on the bed for my third winter. I love it.
