Howdy Smitty. I do not have diabetes, but I have Segarus 20/30 mmhg, as I am prone to clotting. It says they are good for diabetics as well, but you have to go to a medical supply store, be it Co Op Med Supply, or a good pharmacy, to see how much compression you need. Hope this helps a bit, or more. There are so many brands to choose from, and some I find uncomfortable in the summer, and very little warmth in winter. Stay well. Paul
