The Relation between Serum Uric Acid and HbA1c Is Dependent upon Hyperinsulinemia in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Figure 1

Scatter plots of the correlation between InsAUC120 and SUA as well as HbA1c in different genders. The abscissa is the area under the curve of insulin (InsAUC120). Both uric acid and HbA1c change with the increase in InsAUC120. However, the trends of the two correlation curves are opposite, in either male or female. Serum uric acid is directly correlated with insulin level, and HbA1c is inversely associated with insulin level.
