Thyroid Dysfunction and Its Association with Glycemic Control in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM): A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Background

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is characterized by metabolic anomalies, such as hyperglycemia, resulting from pancreatic β-cell dysfunction. In this context, thyroid dysfunction is the second most prevalent endocrine disorder after DM, and the interaction with glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains a topic of debate. Therefore, this meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the impact of thyroid dysfunction on glycemic control in T2DM patients.
