Dr Avinash Chandra Srivastava

Abstract :

Background:Diabetes mellitus (DM), a common endocrine metabolic disorder, is an important cause of morbidity and mortalityworldwide. Patients with diabetes have a higher prevalence of thyroid disorders when compared with general population.Objectives:Present study was done to evaluate the thyroid profile in type 2 diabetic patients.Material and Methods: It was a case control study which was done for a period of one year from January 2017 to December 2017 in Ram ManoharLohia Combined Hospital, Lucknow. Study included a total of 100 subjects divided into 2 groups – 50 cases and 50 controls. The comparison was done by student t test and statistical analysis of each parameter was done by SPSS statistical package version 17.0.Results:The levels of serum TSH and fasting blood sugar were significantly increased while serum T3 and T4 levels were significantly decreased in cases when compared to controls.Conclusion: The present study suggests that the abnormal thyroid hormone levels seen in type 2 diabetics are due to alteration in Hypothalamo–pituitary–thyroid axis, which in turn produces significant metabolic disturbances. Hence, routine screening for thyroid dysfunction should be carried out in diabetics, which helps in its early diagnosis and treatment there by improves their quality of life and reduces the morbidity rate.
