A study of thyroid functions in patients of type II diabetes milletus
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Thyroid hormones have long been known as regulators of glucose metabolism. Both Hyperthyroidism and Hypothyroidism may act as disruptors of glucose homeostasis leading to a lack of metabolic control in Diabetic patients. Our study aims to screen Thyroid function test in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and observe the different ways by which Thyroid profile varies in Type 2 Diabetes Aim and Objective: To evaluate the Thyroid function abnormalities in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Methodology: This study was carried out in 50 randomly selected type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients according to the recommendation of WHO and National Diabetes Data Group (ADA,2012). Data collection includes detailed history regarding the presence of associated illness like Coronary artery disease, Hypertension, Cerebrovascular accident, symptoms of thyroid disorder and associated complications like Diabetic retinopathy and Diabetic neuropathy. Family history of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Thyroid disorder was noted. Different investigations for diabetes and thyroid horomone were carried out. Results and Discussion: The prevalence of thyroid dysfunction among patients with DM was 32%. It was observed that mean T3, T4 and TSH levels among patients was 1.35 ±0.54 µg /dl, 8.01±2.41 µg/dl, 3.74±2.42 µIU/ml respectively. It was observed that there was no statistically significant relation between thyroid dysfunction and BMI, dyslipedemia, cardiovascular complications and Diabetic Complications among patients with DM.
