We are certainly at higher risk as Diabetics because (we, collectively) tend to have existing risk factors
Over 80% of Type 2's are Overweight or Obese which elevates Uric Acid Levels
Kidney Damage (whether full blown to a CKD Stage or not) caused by years of chronic high blood sugar, which accumulates with the duration of managing (or failing to manage) Diabetes impairs the Kidney's ability to filter and evacuate the excess Uric Acid in our system
So while somewhere in the 20-30% of those with high uric acid levels are Diabetic, that does mean that 70-80% are Sugar Eaters, so this is not a Diabetes Centric disorder, like Kidney Disease itself, where fully 60% of those on Dialysis are Diabetics so late Stage CKD 'IS' absolutely related to our disorder

To get an accurate answer about uric acid levels and diabetes, it would be best to:
• Consult with your healthcare provider
• Request blood work to check your uric acid levels
• Discuss any concerns about uric acid with your diabetes care team What we do know from the search results is that diabetes can affect various aspects of metabolism and kidney function. High blood sugar levels cause the kidneys to work harder to filter blood glucose into urine. If you're concerned about uric acid levels, this would be an important topic to discuss during your next medical appointment since kidney function and metabolic issues are closely tied to diabetes management.
