Abstract

BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major health problem globally. There are many studies, which show high prevalence of Thyroid disorders in patients with type 2 DM. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of Thyroid Dysfunction in patients with type 2 DM. METHODS: 90 patients with type 2 DM aged between 40-70 years were studied. Following a detailed history, all patients were evaluated for Thyroid Dysfunction by testing Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4). The prevalence of Thyroid Dysfunction and its correlation with age, gender, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and duration of DM were studied. RESULTS: Out of 90 patients studied, 16 were found to have Thyroid Dysfunction. The most common Thyroid abnormality was subclinical hypoThyroidism followed by hypoThyroidism; furthermore, Thyroid abnormality was seen mostly in patients aged more than 60 and in those with uncontrolled DM. CONCLUSION: Patients with type 2 DM should be screened for Thyroid Dysfunction, especially those with poor diabetic control.
