Primary hyperparathy: If you have a high calcium and high PTH level, you most likely have primary hyperparathyroidism.This is a relatively common condition, especially in women after menopause. It has nothing to do with your diabetes. In your age group, this would be treated by removing the abnormal parathyroid (likely 1 of 4 parathyroid glands is abnormal). Without treatment it can lead to kidney stones and bone loss.

HPT: You have hyperparathyroidism. If left untreated, your risks of heart attack, stroke, osteoporosis, and chronic kidney disease are ALL increased. This will compound the effects of your diabetes. It’s very hard/impossible to cure diabetes but hyperparathyroidism can be cured with surgery. I recommend you fix what you can.
