Controlled Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a type 2 DM patient who takes preventive measures to avoid complications and death, such as adhering to medication, doing physical activity, controlling blood glucose levels to remain stable and implementing a healthy diet. Controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus aims to prevent complications, one of which is kidney function.

The purpose of this study was to determine uric acid levels in patients with controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus. The method in this study is a cross sectional study design with probability sampling technique. The results of the study of 30 research subjects with the lowest value of uric acid 2.29 mg/dL and the highest value of uric acid 6.92 mg/dL. The average uric acid value obtained in the research subjects was 4.58 mg/dL. These levels are still within normal levels, this can be influenced by controlling blood glucose levels, routinely doing physical activity, consuming food and drinks regularly and as recommended (healthy diet) and routinely consulting or taking medication so that the uric acid levels obtained are normal.
