Abstract:
The concept of glucocrinology calls for an understanding of the links between diabetes and endocrine function. One of the most clinically relevant aspects of glucocrinology is the relationship of thyroid function and glucose metabolism. This review discusses the vigilance that one must exercise, with respect to thyroid and glycaemic status, while managing diabetes and thyroid disease respectively. We term this clinical approach as thyrovigilance in diabetes, and as glucovigilance in thyroidology.
