Hypothyroidism Associated with Type 2 Diabetes

Abstract

Results: 7.83% (21/268) patients of this diabetic population had history of thyroid disease. Twenty patients out of 268 (7.46%) had history of hypothyroidism treated with thyroid replacement therapy while 1/268 (0.03%) had history of hyperthyroidism treated with antithyroid therapy. Total cholesterol levels, BMI and C-peptide levels were significantly higher in the hypothyroid population of diabetics compared to the normothyroid diabetics.
