Have you dealt with hyperparathyroidism alongside type 1 diabetes?
While the search results don't specifically mention hyperparathyroidism, it's worth knowing that people with type 1 diabetes have a higher risk of developing other autoimmune conditions. Your elevated calcium level definitely warrants attention from your healthcare team.
Hyperparathyroidism isn't typically listed as a common comorbidity of type 1 diabetes like thyroid disorders or celiac disease are. However, it's important to work with your endocrinologist to determine the cause of your elevated calcium and get appropriate treatment.
Your doctor will likely want to check your parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and may order additional tests to understand what's causing the elevated calcium. This could affect how you manage your diabetes, so keeping your healthcare team informed is crucial.
Have you noticed any symptoms like fatigue, increased thirst, or changes in how you're feeling overall? These could be related to the calcium levels and it's helpful information to share with your doctor.
