Abstract
Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is increasingly recognized as a potential metabolic disturbance in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Given the high prevalence of T2DM and thyroid dysfunctions in rural areas, particularly in underserved populations, this study investigates the correlation between SCH and T2DM. Conducted in Uttarpradesh university of medical science (UPUMS) a tertiary care center in rural Uttar Pradesh, this cross-sectional study aimed to explore the incidence of SCH in T2DM patients and its possible metabolic impact. Our findings reveal a significant correlation between SCH and T2DM, suggesting that early detection and management of thyroid abnormalities may improve metabolic control in diabetic patients.
