Abstract
PURPOSE: High-normal thyrotropin (TSH) is related to reduced insulin sensitivity and may contribute to glycemic disorders in diabetes. We investigated the relationship between normal serum TSH levels and glycemic variability in euthyroid type 2 diabetic patients. METHODS: A total of 432 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients with euthyroid function and normal serum TSH levels were recruited between March 2013 and February 2017. Insulin sensitivity was evaluated by the Matsuda index (ISIMatsuda) following a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test. Multiple glycemic variability indices, including the mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE), mean of daily differences (MODD), and standard deviation of glucose (SD), were calculated from glucose data obtained with a continuous glucose monitoring system. Average glucose accessed by 24-h mean glucose (24-h MG) was also calculated. RESULTS: A normal serum TSH level was positively correlated with MAGE, MODD, SD, and 24-h MG (r = 0.206, 0.178, 0.186, and 0.132, respectively, p < 0.01). After adjusting for somatometric parameters, lipid profiles, ISIMatsuda, and HbA1c via multiple linear regression analysis, mean differences [B(95% CI)] in MAGE, MODD, SD, and 24-h MG between the patients in the lowest and highest quartiles of TSH levels were 0.128(0.031, 0.226), 0.085(0.022, 0.148), 0.039(0.001, 0.078), and 0.002(-0.264, 0.267) mmol/L, respectively. High-normal TSH was independently associated with MAGE, MODD, and SD, but not 24-h MG. CONCLUSIONS: High-normal serum TSH is a significant additional risk factor for increased glycemic variability in type 2 diabetic patients.
