Keywords:
diabetes, glycemic profile, thyroidAbstract
Background: The present study was conducted for assessing the prevalence of thyroid abnormalities among type 2 diabetes patients. Materials & methods: This was a hospital based cross sectional study .A total of 100 type 2 diabetic patients were enrolled. Complete demographic and clinical details of all the patients was obtained. Clinical examination was carried out in all the patients and detailed medical history was recorded. Blood samples were obtained and glycemic profile was evaluated. Thyroid profile was evaluated using auto-analyzer. All the results were recorded and analyzed using SPSS software. Results: Thyroid dysfunction was present in 18 percent of the patients. Out of 52 patients with HbA1c>8%, thyroid dysfunction was present in 26.92 percent while out of 48 patients with HbA1c<8%, thyroid dysfunction was present in 8.33 percent of the patients. Significant correlation was observed while correlation thyroid dysfunction with glycemic profile. Conclusion: Significant proportion of diabetic patients are affected by thyroid dysfunction. Also, its prevalence significantly correlates with glycemic profile.
