Complications of Type 2 Diabetes

Hypothyroidism is a risk factor for new onset diabetes mellitus (DM), in particular for those who take statins. Severe hypoglycemia is significantly associated with the severity of depressive symptoms among type 2 DM patients. Time-updated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) variables have a stronger association with myocardial infarction (MI) than baseline HbA1c.
