Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an epidemic and global burden of disease worldwide, with developing countries having the highest risk. The number of people with diabetes is increasing due to population growth, aging, urbanization and increasing prevalence of obesity and physical inactivity. To find the spectrum of thyroid dysfunctions in middle aged women with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The present study was carried out in the Department of General Medicine, K.C GENERAL HOSPITAL during a period of 18 months from january 2019 to August 2020. Prevalence of thyroid dysfunction was seen in 34.48% of middle aged Indian female patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, of which 21.84% had hypothyroidism., 9.20% had sub‐clinical hypothyroidism and 3.45% had hyperthyroid. Indian female diabetics 32 patients had poor glycemic Control (HbA1c%>8) even with treatment., among them 10 patients had hypothyroidism and 6 patients had sub‐clinical hypothyroidism,3 patients had hyperthyroidism A serum TSH within euthyroid range almost always eliminates the diagnosis of hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. TSH is preferred screening test for thyroid dysfunction in diabetics. One must have strong suspicion of thyroid dysfunction in patients with uncontrolled glycemic levels and must be evaluated for hyperthyroidism especially in young and middle aged diabetics with poor glycemic control. Significantly increased levels of triglyceride was observed in patients with thyroid dysfunction. Whereas high‐density lipoproteins,total cholesterol, low‐denstiy lipoproteins levels were not significantly raised. Thyroid dysfunctions impairs glycemic control in diabetic subjects Hyperthyroid patients had poor glycemic control.
