could hyperparathyroidism cause pre-diabetes

[debbie220]

One year ago I started feeling sick all the time and was eventually diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism and am awaiting surgery.  In the same time frame I became pre-diabetic. I have no family history of diabetes and am not overweight. My question is, could the hyperparathyroidism cause pre-diabetes? The nurse at the Norman Clinic told me sometimes the pre-diabetes goes away after the parathyroid is removed. What do you think?

could you share your experience about your surgery and your diagnosis? i have been reading their site because i am so confused by my medical care.  i do believe i have hyperparathyroidism but two scans one in 2005 and one just a month ago came back negative.  my ENT would want to do the surgery if my next endocronologist elects to do that... and it would be explorative which i am not thrilled about.

two days of Sensipar and my bone pain of 10 years went away and the frequent urination. it seems like a hit but with a negative scan I'm not so sure

thank you

I had the parathyroid surgery on 7/7/09 in FL; they removed a benign parathyroid adenoma-my glucose levels are still at pre-diabetes levels, but I am hoping they come down. Can you please tell me what you ate on your anti-inflammatory diet that helped. What is your hyperpara secondary to?

I have hyperparathyroidism (secondary) and at that time my glucose levels were getting up there also. Then I went on a anti-inflammatory diet and my glucose levels dropped almost 30 points. Now they seem to be rising again. I'm taking another PTH blood test next week. Wondering now if my levels are higher.  So I have the same question as you.

Also, you said you're getting surgery. Are they removing a tumor on your parathyroid?
