Age and sex matched controls were identified from the population. The patients with diabetes group was further divided into two subgroups: patients with newly diagnosed diabetes (NDD) and with previously diagnosed diabetes (PDD). Independent t-test and multivariate logistic regression models were used to investigate the difference in the levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (FT4), free triiodothyronine (FT3) and the ratio of FT4/FT3 between groups.Results: We included 32,557 participants, 2,271 with diabetes. Compared to the adults without diabetes, the odds ratios (ORs) per one unit elevation of TSH, FT4, FT4/FT3 ratio and FT3 in patients with diabetes were 0.88 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.82– 0.95], 1.11 (95% CI: 1.08– 1.14), 2.05 (95% CI: 1.81– 2.32) and 0.85 (95% CI: 0.78– 0.93), respectively. Compared to the NDD group, the ORs per one unit elevation of TSH, FT4, FT4/FT3 ratio and FT3 of the PDD group were 0.81 (95% CI: 0.71– 0.92), 1.08 (95% CI: 1.04– 1.12), 1.76 (95% CI: 1.49– 2.08) and 1.01 (95% CI: 0.92– 1.12), respectively.Conclusion: In euthyroid adults, diabetes was associated with increased FT4/FT3 ratio, which is linked to the peripheral turnover of the thyroid hormones.Keywords: diabetes mellitus, thyroid hormones, triiodothyronine, thyroxineQin KZhang FWu QLiu ZHuang YTan JZhou YAn ZLi SLi SDove Medical Pressarticlediabetes mellitusthyroid hormonestriiodothyroninethyroxineSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 13, Pp 2533-2540 (2020)
