"Full-Blown Diabetes & My Doctor Never Mentioned a Problem" (Gout and Diabetes) - FORD BREWER MD MPH

Episode Summary

We get patients all the time saying this. It's true—prediabetes care in the US is not in great shape. Here's an example of a patient with full-blown type 2 diabetes but didn't know it before seeing us. The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) showed high blood sugar levels. Not only that. This patient also has high uric acid. Gout and diabetes are both cardiovascular risk contributors.
