Results:
46.29% of the studied patients presented autoimmune thyroid disease; of them, 33.33% were female. The highest degree of thyroid dysfunction was present in older patients (36.0%), with normal weigh (68.0%) and time of evolution of the diabetes mellitus among 5-9 years (52.0%). 32.0% vs 80.0% of the patients presented antithyroglobulin antibodies and antithyroperoxidase antibodies respectively, being related this last one with the age and the time of evolution of the diabetes mellitus.
