Diabetes

At RUSH Oak Park Hospital, diabetes care is made better thanks to the expertise and dedication of specialists who address the full scope of diabetes and its complications, and who help each patient manage diabetes on a day-to-day basis using a customized plan.

The effects of diabetes can be widespread. Potential complications include nerve damage, heart disease, high cholesterol, kidney deterioration, eye problems, foot problems, and more. Physicians at RUSH Oak Park Hospital do their best to keep complications of diabetes at bay through ongoing management of the disease, early detection of complications, and a team approach to managing this complex disease.

One common complication of diabetes is ulcers that develop in the foot and leg. The Wound Care Center® at RUSH Oak Park Hospital uses targeted treatment to promote healing and get patients back on their feet again.

Our expertise, however, reaches beyond diabetes to include the full scope of endocrine system disorders.
