Abstract
Diabetes Mellitus is a leading cause of death in developing countries like India. Diabetes Mellitus and Thyroid Disorders are two main endocrine disturbances interrelated to each other and encountered in clinical practice. In the general population, approximately 6% of people have some form of thyroid disorder. However, the prevalence of thyroid disorder increases to over 10% in people with diabetes. There is a higher occurrence of thyroid diseases, particularly hypothyroidism, among people with Type 2 diabetes. The aim of the present study was to find the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in patients with type 2diabetes mellitus. A total number of 100 subjects comprising of 50 non- diabetic and 50 type II diabetes mellitus cases were recruited for the study. In all the subjects fasting blood glucose, serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), serum tetraiodothyronine (T4) and Serum triiodothyronine (T3) were estimated. TSH levels were increased in diabetic patients when compared to controls which were statistically significant. However serum T3 andT4 levels were within the normal range. This suggests that diabetics are prone to develop hypothyroidism which could be autoimmune. Complex mediated. Further studies are required to prove the autoimmune basis of development of hypothyroidism in diabetic patients. Studies investigating the necessity of screening subclinical hypothyroidism and the potential treatment of subclinical hypothyroidism in diabetic patients are also needed.
