Abstract
Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and thyroid dysfunction (TD) are common endocrine disorders usually encountered in clinical
practice. Diabetes and thyroid disorders have been shown to mutually inuence each other, and association between both conditions has long been
reported. Aims: To evaluate the thyroid dysfunction in elderly type 2 diabetes mellitus. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional,
observational and hospital-based study was conducted in the Dept. of General Medicine [both OPD and IPD], Midnapore Medical College &
Hospital, Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal from March 2020 to February 2021. Total 110 patients were present in this study. Result: Our study
showed that in Clinical hyperthyroid, 3(100.0%) patients had Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. In Clinical hypothyroid, 12(100.0%) patients had
T2Diabetes Mellitus. In Euthyroid, 82(100.0%) patients had Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. In Subclinical Hyper thyroid, 2(100.0%) patients had Type2
Diabetes Mellitus. In Subclinical hypothyroid, 11(100.0%) patients had Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Conclusion: Early detection of thyroid
dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus should be performed routinely, given the high rate of newly diagnosed cases, and increased
cardiovascular risk associated with undiagnosed thyroid dysfunction
