Sunita D. Singh, Nita Garg

Abstract :

Aim: The aim of our study was to establish a correlation between HbA1C and TSH levels in patients who had subclinical hypothyroidism and Type II Diabetes mellitus and to compare with nondiabetic controls. Study Design: A hospital based cross sectional study was conducted on patients attending the Out Patient Department of Medicine of Govt. Doon Medical College, Dehradun(U.K), during a period of 06 months from January 2018 to June 2018. 200 patients (100 Diabetics & 100 Non–diabetics) in the age group 30–80 years were selected randomly for the study. Out of the 100 Diabetics (48 Males and 52 females) and of 100 Nondiabetics (56 male and 44 females) were included in the study. Exclusion criteria was age less than 30 and more than 80 years, pregnant women with Diabetes Mellitus, seriously ill patients, known cases of thyroid disease. Methodology: All the 200 participants underwent a biochemical analysis for FPS, PPPS, HbA1C, Total T3, Total T4, TSH, Total Cholesterol, TG and HDL. VLDL and LDL were calculated by computational methods. Results: In patients with subclinical hypothyroidism we found raised level of Total cholesterol, TG, LDL, HbA1C and decreased levels of HDL in both male & female cases as compare to their controls respectively. Conclusion: The present study identifies the patients at risk with subclinical hypothyroidism in Type II Diabetes mellitus. Therefore, screening of thyroid dysfunction in Type II Diabetes mellitus patients is recommended to reduce the severity of disease & endocrinal abnormalities in Diabetic patients.
