ABSTRACT
In organ or non-organ-specific autoimmune disorders, human ovary is usually the target of the autoimmune attack. We aimed to demonstrate the correlation between ovarian reserve and DM1, based on the view that women with type-1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) will have lower AMH levels secondary to poor glycemic control and autoimmune attacks. Ovarian functions of 42 patients diagnosed with DM1 who use insulin and 65 healthy volunteers were analyzed. Basal hormone and AMH levels were measured during the follicular phase. Fasting and postprandial blood glucose concentrations, HbA1c and C-peptide levels were evaluated. The mean antral follicle count (AFC) was significantly lower in DM1 patients than in healthy controls (p = .001). The AMH levels were lower in women with DM1 than in the controls (p = .001). The HbA1c values of DM1 patients, who formed the study group, was significantly higher than the control group. Ovarian reserve that is evaluated with serum AMH level is affected by poor glycemic control in type 1 diabetes. Due to the time of the autoimmune damage in the ovaries and the observable effects of this damage, more comprehensive and longer-term studies are needed to be conducted for the follow-up of reproductive abnormalities.
