    The Follow-Up of Diabetic Patient in Polyclinic
    (Aves Yayincilik, Ibrahim Kara, 2010) Altun, Betuel Ugur
    Diabetes mellitus is a major health problem for both patients and the population because of its high mortality and morbidity and high costs of therapy. By the proceeding technology and sedative lifetyle and obesity becoming widespread, diabetes is becoming more and more frequent throughout the world. 90% of individuals with diabetes mellitus have type 2 diabetes. Obesity, particularly central obesity is a common risk factor. The effect of diabetes on the morbidity and mortality of subjects affected by it necessitates a comprehensive approach of primary and secondary prevention. Screening for diabetes is recommended every three years in people at or above age 40. Earlier and more frequent screening is recommended for high-risk patients. The recommended screening test is fasting plasma glucose. Given the high prevalence of macro and microvascular complications, even at the time of diagnosis (almost 50%), diabetes complications must be thoroughly screened for and additional risk factors (e.g. dyslipidemia, hypertension, microalbuminuria/proteinuria) aggressively treated. Therapy often begins with modification of lifestyle and diet and frequently requires treatment with antihyperglycemic agents.

    Objectives: Thyroid diseases and type 2 diabetes mellitus are two abundant diseases in general population. In this study, we evaluated the frequency of thyroid diseases in type 2 diabetic patients. Patients and Methods: The study included 306 type 2 diabetic patients, who were followed up in Trakya University Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism Disorders. All patients had thyroid function tests, antithyroglobulin antibody values, antithyroid peroxidase values, and thyroid imaging (scintigraphy and/or ultrasonography). Results: A total of 38 (12.4%) patients had thyroid diseases with the following distribution: 29 (9.5%) Hashimoto thyroiditis, five (1.7%) multinodular goitre, three (%1) Graves' disease, and one toxic solitary adenoma (0.3%). Conclusion: We found that thyroid diseases in type 2 diabetics were seen as frequent as in general population. We suggest that there is no need to screen type 2 diabetics for thyroid diseases, hypothyroid in particular, that increase the risk for cardiovascular diseases, in addition to the recommended screening of the general population in guidelines.
