Abstract: 2 diabetes with hypothyroidism causes the most frequent thyroid dysfunction. The thyroid gland was known at least from the time of Galen who thought it provided a fluid for the lubrication of the larynx. About 1 year prospective case control study was conducted between August, 2012 and 2013. The thyroid is a brown, red, highly vascular organ. High incidence of thyroid dysfunction ~32.67% in the overall diabetic population was seen and even higher incidence, i.e., 53.33% was seen in the case group. In the patients with uncontrolled T2DM, sub-clinical hyperthyroidism was seen in 32%, hyperthyroidism in 18.67%, sub-clinical hypothyroidism in 1.33% and hypothyroidism in 1.33%.
