Diabetes mellitus and thyroid disease

Diabetes Care
M Mouradian, N Abourizk

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus not infrequently coexists with hypo- and hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism aggravates glucose intolerance. A review of this phenomenon reveals multiple mechanisms, which include increased hexose intestinal absorption, decreased responsiveness to insulin, and increased glucose production. Conflicting results are obtained when circulating insulin level is measured in thyrotoxicosis. The role of glucagon and alpha-cell sensitivity is unclear. Diabetes mellitus influences the assessment of thyrotoxicosis by falsely decreasing the blood levels of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) during severely uncontrolled hyperglycemia. Hypothyroidism is found in about 3% of patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Moreover, 13-20% of IDDM patients have elevated blood thyrotropin levels and anti-thyroid antibodies. Hypothyroidism per se seems to ameliorate hyperglycemia. A subtype of IDDM shares similar immunogenetic features with familial autoimmune thyroiditis. Studies of IDDM probands who show a high prevalence of circulating thyroid antibodies reveal the presence of such antibodies in their first-degree relatives. Circulating islet-cell antibodies, detected in a majority of IDDM patients at the onset o...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Thyroiditis

Autoimmune thyroiditis is an inflammatory disease of thyroid gland due to autoimmune responses leading to lymphocytic infiltration of the gland. It is characterized by the presence of circulating thyroid antigen-specific T-cells and thyroid autoantibodies. Discover the latest research on autoimmune thyroiditis here.

Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes

This feed focuses on a rare genetic condition called Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes, which are characterized by autoantibodies against multiple endocrine organs. This can lead to Type I Diabetes.

Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathies

Autoimmune polyendocrinopathies, also called polyglandular autoimmune syndromes (PGASs), or polyendocrine autoimmune syndromes(PASs), are a heterogeneous group of rare diseases characterized by autoimmune activity against more than one endocrine organ, although non-endocrine organs can be affected. Discover the latest research on autoimmune polyendocrinopathies here.
