Abstract :
Background: Some studies have shown that there is a correlation
between serum uric acid and blood glucose levels so that these changes
are not exactly clear. This study was conducted to determine the
relationship between uric acid and blood glucose in diabetic patients.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 190 type 2
diabetic (DM) patients in Shahroud by convenience sampling method.
FBS, uric acid, triglyceride, and total cholesterol under standard
conditions were measured. Patients were divided into four groups in
terms of uric acid level.
Results: In this study, 53.7% of patients were male. The average age of
cases was 58.3 ± 13.5 years. There was a significant difference in uric
acid between age groups (Pvalue<0.023), educational levels
(Pvalue<0.041), BMI (Pvalue<0.012) and cholesterol (Pvalue<0.002)
groups. Also, there was a significant reverse relationship between
mean FBS (Pvalue<0.001), blood glucose two hours after feeding
(Pvalue<0.001), and HbA1c (Pvalue<0.02) with different levels of uric
acid.
Conclusions: The results showed that there was a significant and
reversal relationship between the levels of uric acid and glucose levels.
In order to control the level of uric acid, the level of glucose in these
patients is also to be measured and controlled.
