Serum Uric Acid concentration is associated with insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion in adults at risk for Type 2 Diabetes

The pandemic of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has gradually increased over the last decades which has contributed to the global burden of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality [1 –3]. In addition, as one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, diabetes places massive global efforts to decrease its incidence in high-risk patients, including those with obesity [2,4].
