Abstract:
BACKGROUND
Diabetes mellitus and thyroid abnormalities are two most prevalent endocrinopathies. diabetes is one of the
fastest growing noncommunicable metabolic syndrome.
Thyroid dysfunction is a significant contributing factor to the poor glycaemic control observed in diabetes. In
order to lower the risks of diabetes in the present and the future, it is imperative to improve thyroid function in
both diabetic and non-diabetic patients and increase their resistance to the negative effects of thyroid
diseases.
Compared to non-diabetics, thyroid disease is more common in those with diabetes. Poor diabetes management
is caused by aberrant thyroid hormone levels and abnormalities in thyroid function in diabetic patients. This is
demonstrated in certain treated diabetics because it affects insulin resistance.
AIM
To Estimate thyroid profile in Type 2 Diabetes mellitus patients.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
To determine relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus and thyroid disorders and comparasion of their
prevalance in both sexes.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
SOURCE OF DATA
Patients admitted in the medicine ICU/WARDS OF BLDEUS Shri BM Patil medical college and Research
Centre, Vijayapura and who fulfil the inclusion criteria.
All investigations will be performed at the central lab of BLDEU’S Shri M Patil Medical College , Hospital and
Research Centre, Vijayapura.
METHOD OF COLLECTION OF DATA
Type of study: COMPARATIVE CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY DESIGN
Sample size: 84 patient
Using Statulator software for sample size calculation, Asuming the expected population standard deviation to be
11.9, and employing t-distribution to estimate sample size, the study would require a sample size of 84 to
estimate a mean with 95% confidence and a precision of 2.6.
CONCLUSION
Serum T3, T4, and TSH levels were noticeably aberrant, and there was inadequate glycaemic
regulation, according to our observations and results as well as comparisons with other
research of a similar nature. Type 2 diabetics are more prone to have altered thyroid hormone
levels, particularly in individuals with poor glycaemic control. If not adequately recognised,
these changes in thyroid hormones may play a major role in the inadequate management of
diabetes. A greater incidence of hypothyroidism was discovered by our investigation,
especially in females. There was shown to be a moderate but substantial association between
TSH and HbA1c. In order to improve medical care and lower morbidity, type 2 diabetic
patients must have routine thyroid hormone testing.
