Methods:A Cross sectional descriptive observational study was performed at tertiary care centre.Patients 30 years older known type DM without between March 2018 September were included by purposive sampling technique.A total 100 study. Results:Among 13(26%) had abnormalities, 8 cases male 5 female. Thyroid abnormality associated duration DM. The mean disease 6.28±2.57 normal profile group 10.92±8.13 (hypothyroidism hyperthyroidism) group. Patients poor glycemic control prone develop like abnormality. HbA1c also shows positive correlation patients. Regarding definition abnormality, 7% Primary hypothyroidism, 2% Subclinical hypothyroidism 3% primary hyperthyroidism single case subclinical hyperthyroidism. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that disorder patient. It seems unidentified could positively impact its complications. ability diagnose treat unsuspected may greatly enhance quality life. Hence need detect such where contributes morbidity it cause conditions. Bangladesh J Medicine 2022; 33: 193-201
