Association between thyroid hormone index TFQIFT3 and diabetic peripheral neuropathy: a retrospective cross-sectional analysis in euthyroid individuals with type 2 diabetes

Key Points

• Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is associated with variations in the thyroid hormone index TFQIFT3, highlighting its significance.
• The analysis found a notable correlation between TFQIFT3 levels and neuropathy symptoms in 200 euthyroid individuals with type 2 diabetes.
• Retrospective cross-sectional analysis conducted to explore thyroid hormone effects on neuropathy outcomes in diabetes patients.
• Findings suggest that thyroid hormone levels could play a role in diabetic complications, prompting further studies for validation.
