A Case of Hypoparathyroidism in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.

This case report discusses a 13-year-old female with a known history of type 1 diabetes mellitus presenting with pain in bilateral lower limbs, generalized weakness, and fatigue. After laboratory examinations, hypoparathyroidism was diagnosed based on low serum calcium, elevated serum phosphorous, and lower serum intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. Treatment with calcium and vitamin D supplements led to a reduction in the patient's symptoms. The report provides an overview of the pathophysiology of hypoparathyroidism, its various etiologies, and clinical manifestations. The report emphasizes the importance of considering hypoparathyroidism as a differential diagnosis in patients with unexplained neuromuscular symptoms, even without a known thyroid disease or previous thyroid surgery.
