The level of thyroid hormones is often changed in uncontrolled diabetic patients. Screening for Thyroid dysfunction (TD) among patients with Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) should be performed considering the increased prevalence of thyroid disorders. This cross-sectional comparative study was conducted in outpatient department of Endocrinology and Medicine, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh (MMCH) from 1st March 2020 to 30th August 2021. One hundred (100) patients with type 2 diabetes along with 100 (hundred) non-diabetic controls of same age group were enrolled in the study. After taking clinical data, patients were investigated to estimate Fasting plasma glucose (FPG), serum free tri-iodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxin (FT4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level to see thyroid dysfunction. Patients were selected with purposive sampling. Thyroid dysfunction was found to be more in T2DM (15.0%) in comparison with non-diabetic controls (5.0%) and this difference was statistically significant (p=0.018). In both diabetic and non-diabetic groups, subclinical hypothyroidism and hypothyroidism were the most common thyroid dysfunction. Thyroid dysfunction was found more in 40-60 years that suggests the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction are increasing in diabetic patients with advancing age. Thyroid dysfunction was found more among overweight and obese patient in both groups. Mean BMI was found higher among diabetic patient with thyroid dysfunction. Logistic regression showed significant association of Thyroid dysfunction with age >50 years and high FPG level. We found thyroid dysfunction was more prevalent in patients with T2DM than non-diabetics. So, screening for thyroid dysfunction among type 2 diabetic patients by estimating Serum TSH, FT4 level should be performed.
