Recommendations of the Polish Society of Endocrinology and Polish Diabetes Association for the management of thyroid dysfunction in type 1 and type 2 diabetes

Endokrynol Pol. 2013;64(1):73-7.

Abstract

Thyroid disorders are more frequently observed in diabetic patients. These conditions have been shown to be mainly of autoimmune origin and all of them may lead to hormonal imbalance. Especially strong links exist between autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) and type 1 diabetes. Importantly, both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can adversely affect metabolic control of diabetes. These recommendations propose diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms for thyroid dysfunction in diabetic patients.
