Background.
Hypothyroidism is a highly prevalent and multifactorial disorder and has been implicated in the causation of dyslipidemia, dermatological diseases, atherosclerosis, and myocardial dysfunction, as well as endothelial dysfunction.
The relationship between subclinical hypothyroidism and type 2 diabetes mellitus is not well established.
In the present study, we attempt to find out the prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism in type 2 diabetes mellitus and its association with glycemic control.
Materials and Methods.
This was an observational study in which 205 consecutive patients of T2DM visiting the outpatient department of medicine were recruited.
Serum TSH, free thyroxine, free triiodothyronine, and lipid profile, as well as HbA1c assays, were done in the study participants, and they were categorized into three groups by HbA1c: <7%, 7–9%, and >9%.
Results.
There is a high prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism in type 2 DM patients.
Mean HbA1c in diabetics without SCH was 7.89%, whereas it was 8.33% in diabetics with SCH.
This difference was statistically not significant.
TSH was not found to be significantly associated with HbA1c.
Conclusion.
High prevalence of SCH in T2DM patients suggests that there is a need for regular follow-up to check the progression of SCH to overt hypothyroidism.
High serum TSH is not a predictor of poor glycemic control.
