COEXISTANCE OF DIABETES MELLITUS AND THYROID DISORDERS: A VIEW ON DYSFUNCTION OF THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM

Thyroid disorders in patients with diabetes mellitus were studied in 196 patients, divided into 4 main groups (hyperthyroidism in patients with diabetes, hypothyroidism in patients with diabetes, euthyroidism in patients with diabetes and diabetes patients without any thyroid pathology). It was found that diabetes and thyroid disorders have been shown mutually influence on each other and proved associations between both conditions. Compensation of thyroid function due to adequate therapy leads to controlled hyperglycemia, positive arterial hypertension disease mode and better diabetes mellitus outcome.
