Results- A total number of 200 diabetes mellitus Type I and Type II patients were included in the study. Out of 200patients, 27 (22.5 %) had thyroid dysfunction and remaining 93 patients had normal thyroid function. Out of 27 thyroid dysfunction patients, 8 (6.6%) had clinical hypothyroidism, 17 (14.1%) had subclinical hypothyroidism and 2 (1.6%) diabetics had hyperthyroidism.
