Diabetes care·September 15, 2026·PMID 42743064

Why it matters

For patients with hyperuricemia and overweight, dietary weight loss is a cornerstone of management, but the optimal pattern is unclear. This trial shows that any of three structured calorie-restricted diets can achieve meaningful weight loss and modest urate lowering, with DASH offering better adherence and lean mass preservation.
