In this descriptive, quantitative and cross-sectional study all patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosed according to the criteria presented in ADA 2016 guidelines and treated with oral hypoglycemic agents and / or insulin are included. It was found that 27.91% (n = 1033) of type 2 diabetics (n = 3729) had thyroid abnormalities, with clinical (n=634) and subclinical (n=305) hypothyroidism being the most common.
