Background: It has been reported that overt and mild thyroid dysfunctions are associated with insulin resistance (IR). We performed this retrospective study to evaluate the relationships between thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels within the reference range and IR.Material/Methods: A total of 447 outpatients were enrolled in this study: 298 with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 149 nondiabetic individuals. Based on a cutoff HbA1c value of 7%, diabetic patients were additionally divided into 2 groups: a high-HbA1c group (n=240) and a low-HbA1c group (n=58). The relationships of TSH levels and HOMA-IR were computed using linear regression models.Results: TSH levels were positively and linearly associated with HOMA-IR in both the nondiabetic and diabetic groups (r=0.210, p=0.011 and r=0.451, p
