For individuals living with diabetes, protecting your feet is one of the most important steps you can take for your long-term health. The good news is that most people with diabetes qualify for diabetic shoes, and in many cases, insurance or Medicare will cover them.
At Ozark Medical Equipment, we help you understand your eligibility, handle the paperwork, and ensure you are fitted with shoes that feel good, look good, and keep your feet healthy.

To most people, diabetic shoes look like any other pair of comfortable walking shoes. The difference lies in how they are made and the extra protection they provide for individuals living with diabetes.

Living with diabetes changes how you care for your feet. Over time, diabetes can reduce circulation and nerve sensitivity, making it harder to feel small injuries or blisters. What might seem like a minor irritation can quickly become a serious wound if it goes unnoticed.

Caring for a loved one at the end of life is one of the most meaningful roles a person can take on. It can also be exhausting. Hospice respite care exists to give caregivers the time to rest and recharge without worry, while their loved one continues receiving compassionate hospice services.
