Charcot's foot is a potential complication of poorly controlled, long-standing diabetes: Peripheral neuropathy with sensory, proprioceptive, and motor nerve defects leads to repetitive and chronic foot injury with bony fragmentation. Approximately 50% of patients display evidence of autonomic neuropathy, and all patients have profound sensory neuropathy. The condition has equal incidence in women and men.

Did this podiatrist test you for gout?
I wouldn't have a podiatrist handle this situation at all.
There are systemic things that can cause this too.
