it was found that in uncontrolled diabetes mellitus serum T3 and FT3J were decreased

and rT3. elevated. Fasting blood glucose and HbA1c were in negative correlation with T3 and FT3I. and in positive correlation with rT3. Serum TSH was negatively correlated with degree of retinopathy

24h urinary protein

and duration of diabetes. TRH stimulation test showed low

delayed

or no response in 57% of patients tested

and the resultswere in negative correlation with fas’ting blood glucose and HbA1c. After 1-4 month trentment

blood glucose decreased

serum T3 increased

and rT3 decreased. It was believed that thyroid function test is of significance in evaluating the severity
