ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying how surgery to remove the parathyroid glands (a procedure called parathyroidectomy) affects blood sugar control in patients who have both primary hyperparathyroidism and type 2 diabetes. The researchers want to understand if this surgery can help improve diabetes management in these patients. The trial is currently looking for participants aged 18 and older, including those who will have the surgery and those who will not.
To join the study, participants must have both conditions, but not everyone will qualify. For example, patients with a history of recurring parathyroid problems or those with type 1 diabetes cannot participate. Those who take part in the study will be monitored to see how their diabetes responds to the surgery and how their overall health changes. This research aims to provide valuable insights into the connection between these two health issues and how treatment can improve patient outcomes.
