Is there a relationship between TSH levels and diabetic retinopathy in the Caucasian population?

Joana Nicolau Ramis et al. Diabetes Res Clin Pract. 2012 Sep.

Abstract

A retrospective study was performed to investigate whether the relationship between subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) reported in Asiatic type 2 diabetic populations also occurs in the Caucasian population. We could not find any relationship between either TSH levels or the presence of SCH and DR.
