Mean change in uric acid concentration for patients with diabetes, according to four week change in urinary glucose, estimated by dip stick. The dip stick scale ranged between "negative", "trace", "1+", "2+" and "3+" for glucose content. FSG = fasting serum glucose. Error bars illustrate 95% confidence interval. Variables in table are presented as means (± standard deviation). Analysis for patients without diabetes was not performed, since 99% of the patients had a negative dip stick at screening, and 99% of the patients were found to have no change in glucose dip stick.
