Higher levels of HbA1c being more significantly associated with sub clinical hypothyroidism. Duration of diabetes did not significantly affect the prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism. Hypertriglyceridemia was more significantly associated with diabetics associated with subclinical hypothyroidism compared to patients with diabetes only. There is increased incidence of subclinical hypothyroidism in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and is also associated with hypertriglyceridemia and high HbA1c levels.
