  • Title: [Diabetes mellitus and frequently associated endocrine diseases].
    Author: Schumm-Draeger PM.
    Journal: MMW Fortschr Med; 2006 Sep 14; 148(37):47-50. PubMed ID: 17036905.
    Abstract:
    The simultaneous occurrence of type 1 or type 2 diabetes with various hormonal diseases (e.g. thyroid, adrenal, pituitary disease) is a frequent observation. A chronically poorly controlled metabolism can alter the hormone parameters of the diabetic. In contrast, an acute loss of metabolic control may be a sign of a newly manifesting hormonal disease, and needs always prompt an appropriate diagnostic work-up and treatment. In view of the frequency both of diabetes mellitus and thyroid disease, a regular check--at least yearly and always in case of unclear worsening of diabetic control--of thyroid gland function is mandatory. The aim is to provide appropriate treatment, and thus to stabilize the patient's metabolic status, as early as possible.
