Abstract
Objectives: To study the prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus in patients suffering from thyroid disorders
Methodology: This study was conducted in KIMS hospital Bengaluru and it was a prospective observational study. The patients suffering from thyroid diseases and visiting outpatient department of General Medicine who satisfied the inclusion criteria were asked to get their GRBS or RBS values measured. The results were analyzed accordingly.
Results and Discussion: The study included one hundred patients who attended outpatient department. Among them, 90 patients were suffering from hypothyroidism and the rest were hyperthyroid patients. Among the 90 hypothyroid patients, 79 cases were females and 11 were males. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus among the hypothyroidism patients found to be 10% (9 patients) and where as in hyperthyroid patients found to be 50 %. Out of 100 patients 14% of the patients (9 hypothyroid and 5 hyperthyroid) were found to have diabetes mellitus.
Conclusion: This study showed that hyperthyroid patients are more prone to have diabetes mellitus (50%) as compared to hypothyroid patients (10%).
Keywords: Diabetes Mellitus, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, plasma insulin.
