Background: Studies have shown type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) accompanied by subclinical hypothyroid (SCH) leads to a higher retinopathy incidence, compared to T2DM without SCH. Furthermore, SCH patients are known to have a high risk of dyslipidemia. This study therefore aims to determine the relationship between dyslipidemia and retinopathy, in T2DM patients with SCH.Materials and Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design, and the study population consisted of adult patients diagnosed with T2DM over a year ago and visiting the Metabolic Endocrine Division’s outpatient ward at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. The data collected include glycemic control, FT4, lipid profile TSHs, as well as retinopathy data.Results: According to the results, patients with T2DM and SCH accompanied by dyslipidemia, had a 2.76 times higher retinopathy risk, compared to patients without dyslipidemia (p value = 0.014). Conclusion: A significant relationship was concluded to exist between dyslipidemia and retinopathy in T2DM patients with SCH.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 05 No. 04 October’21 Page: 478-483
