Association Between Primary Hyperparathyroidism and Secondary Diabetes Mellitus: Findings From a Scoping Review.

An ill-defined association exists between diabetes mellitus (insulin resistance) and primary hyperparathyroidism. This article explores this phenomenon while providing an explanation for such a relationship and reviewing the evidence regarding the response to insulin sensitivity following a parathyroidectomy. Primary hyperparathyroidism may increase the risk of developing insulin resistance; peculiarly, this is not present in all patients.
