Abstract study showed that there was a significant increase in the mean of FT4 levels in diabetic patients with thyroid nodules (when compared to diabetic patients without thyroid nodules (P=0.043). Yet, no significant correlation was found between Thyroid nodule volume, Thyroid nodule size, and IR with FT4. The binary logistic regression analysis showed that FT4 was a risk factors for thyroid nodule in the T2DM patients. Furthermore, the results showed that there was a significant increase in the mean of TPO levels in diabetic patients with thyroid nodules when compared to diabetic patients without thyroid nodules (P=0.038). The binary logistic regression analysis showed that TPO was risk factor for thyroid nodule in the T2DM patients. There was a significant increase in the mean value of fasting blood glucose level in diabetic groups with thyroid nodules when compared to those without thyroid nodules (P<0.001).Pearson’s correlation test also showed significant positive correlation between thyroid nodule size and fasting blood glucose (r=0.400, P=0.010) as well as fasting blood insulin (r=0.440, P=0.005). The binary logistic regression analysis showed that FBG, PPGL were risk factors for thyroid nodule in the T2DM patients. Conclusion: Our research demonstrates that IR is strong risk factors for thyroid nodule occurrence but its prevalence in diabetic cases is not evaluated in our study. So, it is of great clinical significance to perform thyroid Ultrasonography on patients with T2DM. The independent correlates of TNs were multifactorial, and there existed differences in different physiological states |
