Abstract

Background an increased levels of circulating insulin hormone is correlated with insulin resistance and impacted on thyroid tissue resulting in larger thyroid volume. Aim and objectives: To assess the thyroid volume and thyroid function tests and ultrasonography echogenicity in obese diabetics with type 2 diabetes. Subjects and methods: This research included 60 studied cases, Group (A): including 40 patients: Obese type 2 DM Group (B): including 20 normal persons as a control group They were collected from the outpatient clinics of Al-Hussein University Hospital between January and July 2022. Results: Our result show that There is highly significance difference between group A (obese diabetic patients) and group B (the control group) we also discovered a significant relationship among thyroid volume and Body Mass Index in relation to thyroid volume and thyroid ultrasound echogenicity., waist circumference, glycated HGB and HOMA-IR comparing to group B (the control group). Conclusion: Our findings imply that type II diabetes mellitus patients with obesity have larger thyroid volumes with a highly statistically correlation with BMI, WC, HbA1C, and HOMA-IR.
