Overview

Thyroid diseases and type 2 diabetes mellitus are the two most common endocrinological diseases worldwide. The relationship between type 1 diabetes mellitus and thyroid diseases is known and described, but the relationship between thyreopathies and type 2 diabetes is not clarified sufficiently through that studies manifest increasingly the connection between them. Diabetes also can affect thyroid gland function indirectly by some peroral antidiabetics.

Keywords:

metformin – type 2 diabetes mellitus – peroral antidiabetics – thyroid diseases
