Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Biochemistry - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: The present study was undertaken to assess the interdependent relationship between type 2 DM and hypothyroidism among Type 2 diabetic patients attending a teaching hospital. Materials and methods: In the present study, 100 type 2 diabetic subjects and 100 healthy nondiabetic subjects investigated for total triiodothyronine (T3), total thyroxine (T4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), and Fasting blood sugar (FBS). Results: The level of T3 and T4 were significantly lower while the level of TSH and FBS was substantially higher in type 2 diabetics as compared to non-diabetics. Conclusion: Thus, the present study was conducted to find out the relationship between type 2 DM and hypothyroidism in patients with type 2 diabetes. Prevalence of Hypothyroidism is high among Type 2 Diabetes mellitus patients especially females. Therefore continuous screening for thyroid hormones is suggested in type 2 DM patients to reduce the vascular complications and management of diabetes and also reduce the risk of thyroid hormone dysfunction.
