Materials and methods: In the present study, 400 type 2 diabetic subjects and 100 healthy non diabetic subjects were investigated for total triidothyronine (T3), total thyroxin (T4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), plasma glucose fasting(FPG), and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), Results: The level of T3 and T4 were significantly lower while the level of TSH was significantly higher in type 2 diabetics as compared to non-diabetics. Conclusion: The present study was we identified that the patients are at high risk with thyroid dysfunction in type 2 diabetic patients attending to teaching hospital. Therefore continuous screening for thyroid hormones is suggested in type 2 DM patients to reduce the vascular complications and management of diabetes and also reduce the risk of thyroid hormone dysfunction.
