Background: Thyroid dysfunction is a common endocrine disorder that may coexist with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), potentially influencing metabolic control and clinical outcomes. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of thyroid hormone abnormalities among T2DM patients and explore their relationship with glycemic control and demographic factors. Methods: A Chart-based retrospective study was conducted on 243 patients with T2DM from two hospital sites. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize demographic and clinical data. Serum levels of T3, T4, TSH, and HbA1c were measured. Pearson correlation assessed relationships between thyroid hormones and HbA1c, while non parametric tests evaluated associations between thyroid status and demographic variables.
