**hypothyroidism and type 2 diabetes **
There are many people who experience hypothyroidism and diabetes together... This means that a person may have both thyroid disease and diabetes at the same time.. If a person has type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome, the risk of developing thyroid disorders increases.. On the other hand, thyroid disorder increases the risk of developing metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. The interaction will become stronger.... So there is a direct and two-way relationship between **hypothyroidism** and type 2 diabetes.... To read more about the relationship **hypothyroidism and diabetes** you can click on the link.. In general, even mild hypothyroidism increases the risk of diabetes in people with diabetes by 13%.. 15% for people with normal thyroid function to 35% for people experiencing symptoms of hypothyroidism.. Therefore, mild hypothyroidism also significantly increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. According to the advice of experts, thyroid screening tests are an unavoidable necessity for people with early diabetes. The disease or diabetes mellitus, commonly known as diabetes, is a metabolic disease that leads to an increase in blood sugar in the body. Blood sugar or blood glucose is the main source of energy in the body. The insulin produced by the pancreas helps the glucose in the food to enter the cells of the body and use it for energy... In some people, not enough insulin is produced or their body does not use insulin well.. In this case, glucose remains in the blood and does not reach the cells for metabolism. **Type 1 diabetes:** is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the cells of the pancreas and destroys them.... The cause of this attack is not known.... About 10% of people with diabetes have type 1 diabetes... **Type 2 diabetes:** It occurs when the body shows resistance to insulin and causes the accumulation of glucose in the blood. The relationship between hypothyroidism and increased risk of type 2 diabetes can be investigated in different ways. First of all, the thyroid gland and its hormones play an essential role in regulating many biological processes in the body, such as growth and metabolism. Hypothyroidism disrupts metabolism, can alter blood sugar levels. This in turn can increase the risk of diabetes. Second, low thyroid hormone levels are associated with high body mass index, which is a risk factor for diabetes. Thyroid hormone is directly involved in controlling insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis. Hypothyroidism is associated with decreased insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. Levels... the body changes.... On the other hand, insulin works differently in some people and causes an increase in thyroid hormone levels... In other words, too much or too little insulin can lead to changes in the production and activity of thyroid hormones. When the metabolism slows and weakens in hypothyroidism, insulin may remain in the body for a longer time and increase the risk of hypoglycemia. and diabetes, in the future people with diabetes and hypothyroidism will be strongly encouraged to change their lifestyles to prevent pre-diabetes or even treat diabetes or thyroid treatment.
