Abstract
Autoimmune thyroiditis is a condition in which the immune system produces antibodies against thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin. This leads to apoptosis thyroid cells and, subsequently, to hypothyroidism. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis very often occur in correlation with insulin resistance, which is defined as glucose homeostasis disorder based on the reduce sensitivity of the peripheral tissues to insulin. One of the risk factors for these two disease entities is an inadequate diet. The aim of this study was elaboration nutritional recommendations and create the project of diet for patient with Hashimoto disease and insulin resistance. The diet plan was developed for a 24-year-old woman with a body weight of 82 kg, height 173 cm and BMI 27 kg/m2, whose anti-thyroid antibodies, TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) and OGTT (oral glucose tolerance test) levels were abnormal. The nutritional plan was developed in accordance with the nutritional standards of the Food and Nutrition Institute, including modifications to nutrients adapted to the existing diseases. The diet plan specifies the demand for energy, protein, fat, total carbohydrates (selected on the basis of the glycemic load), fiber, calcium, iodine, selenium and vitamin D3. It assumed compensation for the deficiencies, reducing chronic inflammation by eliminating mediators inducing its formation and disrupting the proper functioning of the thyroid gland. In addition, it also involved increasing the sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin, by normalizing body weight, as well as maintaining a constant and normal blood glucose level. Autoimmune thyroiditis typically correlates with other diseases, including anemia, SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) or metabolic syndrome diseases. Dietary therapy of the comorbid disease entities should take into account factors that improve treatment. Among them, we distinguish, among others: reduction of simple sugars and goiter products, adequate supply of vitamin D, selenium and iodine.
