Abstract
Background: Thyroid disorders and diabetes mellitus are the two most common endocrinopathies encountered in clinical practice. We intended to take up this study in order to establish the possible relationship between Type 2 diabetes mellitus and thyroid disorder. Methods: The study was carried on patients with diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes mellitus who were admitted in medical wards and attending medical OPD in the department of medicine, Krishna Hospital, Karad during the study period of 1 October 2016 to 31 march 2018.It was an observational Cross-sectional study. Clinical data and laboratory reports were collected and compared for different age groups, gender and duration of diabetes mellitus and its correlation with thyroid disorder. Results: Out of total 400 patients studied, 97(24.25%) patients had thyroid disorder. Among the patients who had thyroid disorder, we had 52(53.6%) with subclinical hypothyroidism and 30(30.93%) who had hypothyroidism. There were 11(11.34%) who had subclinical hyperthyroid and 4(4.12%) who had frank hyperthyroidism. Both Clinical and Subclinical Hypothyroidism were found more in Females as compared to males and the association was found to be highly significant (p < 0.0001). Thyroid disease increased as there was increase in the age. Conclusion: Thyroid disorder is seen maximum in patients with the duration of 11-15 years of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The study population had an obvious Thyroid dysfunction; hence it is prudent to screen for or to ask for Thyroid profile in patients with type 2 Diabetic patients.
