Abstract

Introduction: Type 1 diabetes mellitus is an autoimmune disease that is related to thyroid abnormalities.

Objective: Describe the relationship between type 1 diabetes mellitus and autoimmune thyroid disease.

Methods: A review of the national and international literature of the last 15 years was carried out in databases, in Spanish and in English. The following keywords were used: "type 1 diabetes mellitus", "autoimmune", “autoimmune thyroid disease", "thyroid dysfunction" and "antithyroid antibodies.

Analysis and integration of information: The most common alteration is subclinical hypothyroidism and it occurs most often in the female sex, so it is suggested to periodically perform the thyroid profile to these patients.

Conclusions: These implications should be taken into account in clinical practice to provide timely treatment, improve complications such as cardiovascular disease and reduce morbidity and mortality figures.
