Thank you for the query. As per the history, your husband is 39yrs old, diabetic and suffering from hyperuricemia. I would like to know whether he suffers from hypertension or obesity. In that case, he may be suffering from metabolic syndrome. Uric acid is the product of purine metabolism in the body. Hyperuricemia can occur as a result of overproduction in the body or under-excretion from the body. Genetics (eg family history) is also an important cause of hyperuricemia. Use of certain drugs like diuretics or low dose aspirin can cause elevated uric acid levels. In males it is preferable to keep a uric acid level below 6.8gm%. If your husband is asymptomatic, medical intervention is not advised, but if he is having symptoms like gout, you may need to start him on medications like allopurinol or febuxostat (after consulting your physician). Vitamin C supplements are shown to have some benefits. Food rich in purine are red meat, sea-food/fishes, certain vegetables like asparagus, cauliflower, lentils, beans, peas and spinach (the intake of which should be restricted to once or twice per week) and alcohol. Intake of refined sugar is best avoided due to associated condition like diabetes mellitus. I would advise you to visit the primary physician so that a treatment plan can be formulated. Hope this helps you.
