Thyroid dysfunction was classifiedas Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) was defined as TSH- 4.5to 10 mIU/ml with normal FT4. Overt hypothyroidism-TSH>10 mIU/ml with low FT4. Hyperthyroidism- <0.45 mIU/ml TSH with raised FT4 Subclinical hyperthyroidism- <0.45mIU/ml TSH with normal FT4.Result: The prevalence of Thyroid Dysfunction in all diabeticpatients was 24%.function was 24% (16% had subclinicalhypothyroidism, 6% of patients had overthypothyroidism and only 2% of patients had overthyperthyroidismConclusion: Our study emphasizes the need to checkTSH levels in all type 2 diabetic patients, as subclinicalhypothyroidism was most prevalent thyroid dysfunction inpatients with diabetes.
