TLDR
Thyroid disorders can have a major impact on glucose control, and untreated thyroid disorders affect the management of diabetes in patients, so a systematic approach to thyroid testing in patients with diabetes is recommended.
Abstract
Studies have found that diabetes and thyroid disorders tend to coexist in patients. Both conditions involve a dysfunction of the endocrine system. Thyroid disorders can have a major impact on glucose control, and untreated thyroid disorders affect the management of diabetes in patients. Consequently, a systematic approach to thyroid testing in patients with diabetes is recommended.

Prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in patients with diabetes mellitus.

TL;DR: Screening for thyroid disease among patients with diabetes mellitus should be routinely performed considering the prevalence of new cases diagnosed and the possible aggravation the classical risk factors such as hypertension and dyslipidemia, arising from an undiagnosed thyroid dysfunction.

Associated autoimmune diseases in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM)

TL;DR: The present review reports on the classification of autoimmune diabetes, and on the prevalence, pathogenesis, predictive factors and clinical presentation of pancreatic autoimmunity and of all associated autoimmune disorders in children with T1DM.

Thyroid autoimmunity as a window to autoimmunity: An explanation for sex differences in the prevalence of thyroid autoimmunity.

TL;DR: The ability of the thyrocytes to participate in innate immunity through the TLR provides an adjuvant-like signal and allows for the action of other agents, such as environmental factors, viruses, bacteria, and even stress to provide the initiation step to break tolerance to thyroid self-antigens.

Serum TSH, T4, and Thyroid Antibodies in the United States Population (1988 to 1994): National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III)

TL;DR: TSH and the prevalence of antithyroid antibodies are greater in females, increase with age, and are more in whites and Mexican Americans than in blacks, which needs more research to relate these findings to clinical status.

The Colorado Thyroid Disease Prevalence Study

TL;DR: The results confirm that thyroid dysfunction is common, may often go undetected, and may be associated with adverse health outcomes that can be avoided by serum TSH measurement.

TL;DR: TSH levels above 6 mu/1 were shown to reflect a significant lowering of circulating thyroxine levels and showed a strong association with thyroid antibodies in both sexes, independent of age.

Melanocortin-4 receptor mutations are a frequent and heterogeneous cause of morbid obesity

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that MC4-R mutations are a frequent but heterogeneous genetic cause of morbid obesity and transmission in the families of the carriers indicates a variable expressivity that is not related to the functional severity of the mutations.
