Abstract
Background: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) frequently have thyroid dysfunction, an endocrine condition that requires careful examination. Objective: The prevalence of thyroid dysfunction among 100 T2DM patients was explored in this cross-sectional study. Method: Thyroid function was assessed using levels of free thyroxine (FT4), free triiodothyronine (FT3), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Results: The findings showed a 20% prevalence of thyroid dysfunction, with hypothyroidism accounting for 18%. Notably, patients with and without thyroid disease did not differ significantly in terms of age or gender. However, patients with thyroid dysfunction had noticeably higher TSH levels (p=0.001). Conclusion: These results underscore how crucial routine thyroid function testing is for T2DM patients to promote early detection and efficient treatment.
