Adherence to gout treatment guidelines in patients with diabetes: A Danish prospective cohort study with 4 years of follow-up
Gout in patients with diabetes is often inadequately managed, potentially leading to persistent tophi, which may ulcerate and contribute to foot ulcers. These findings likely reflect typical treatment settings. Affordable and effective gout treatment could prevent tophi formation and improve outcomes. Consideration of gout screening in diabetes management guidelines is recommended.
