Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome: Improved Control May Reduce Stone Risk

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Some patients who form kidney stones also have diabetes. Many patients with diabetes also have metabolic syndrome. As the incidence of prediabetes and diabetes continues to increase, we can only expect that an increasing number of patients seen for kidney stones will also have these sequelae. Dietary recommendations play a prominent role in the management of prediabetes and diabetes, the major and most agreed-upon criteria for defining metabolic syndrome (when it exists in concert with certain additional factors). Depending on stone type and etiology, diet also plays a role in kidney stone prevention. Diabetes and kidney stone prevention are two sides of the same coin with respect to dietary management. In this chapter, diabetes in the context of metabolic syndrome is described, dietary recommendations for diabetes management are reviewed, and major dietary recommendations for patients with both diabetes and at risk for urinary stone formation and/or growth are presented.
