First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether removing overactive parathyroid glands (parathyroidectomy) can improve blood sugar control in people who also have type 2 diabetes. Researchers will compare 80 patients who have surgery with those who do not, measuring changes in blood sugar and bone health. The goal is to understand if treating hyperparathyroidism can also help manage diabetes.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could show that parathyroid surgery improves blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes, pointing toward a new way to manage both conditions.
