Although I am not SC for neither, here are a couple of helpful examples:

2012 win where gout was SC to knee and bunion disabilities: https://www.va.gov/vetapp12/Files1/1200747.txt

If you happened to serve in Vietnam or an area where AO was used, diabetes is a presumptive. For example, this 2010 win where gout was SC secondary to diabetes: https://www.va.gov/vetapp10/files5/1040411.txt

Once you are SC for diabetes, you can get secondary SC for a lot of potential conditions
