I can truthfully say that without the caring treatment at DM Foot & Ankle Associates, my husband could be dead today. A little over a year ago, my husband developed what looked like a boil under his big toe. Concerned, we went to three podiatrists, as well as an orthopedic surgeon at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.

Diabetes is a chronic disease causing high blood glucose (sugar) levels. Diabetes also weakens your immune system, making it more difficult for your body to fight off infections, which can, in turn, damage your nervous system. This damage can affect the ability to feel sensations in your feet. Damage to your nervous system can affect your feets ability to produce sweat and other natural oils that keep the skin lubricated.
