Summary Choi et al reported the effect of hyperuricaemia on the new‐onset type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2 DM ). I present three queries. (i) Insulin is considered to stimulate uric acid reabsorption via specific transporter and the effect of hyperuricaemia on the new‐onset T2 DM should be evaluated by considering insulin resistance. (ii) There is a limitation in the number of events for stable estimates. (iii) Obesity and sex should be considered for the analysis.
