Hello @ajbroffitt and welcome to the Diabetes & Endocrine System Support Group on Mayo Connect. I read with a great deal of interest about the problems of your teen daughter. As a mother myself, I can imagine that you must be concerned about this health issue.

Just a few questions: you mentioned that she is not taking her medicine, what kind of medication was suggested? Also, is she seeing a pediatric endocrinologist? Other than her blood work being abnormal, how does she feel? Is she eating, sleeping and does she have energy?

Have you considered a second opinion with a research-oriented medical facility such as a university medical school or a facility like Mayo Clinic. If you are not nearby one of these types of medical facilities, you might contact them for a virtual consultation. Here is information on obtaining an appointment with Mayo Clinic, http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63.

I look forward to hearing from you again with some more information.

You have to supplement Vita. D3 in order for calcium to absorb. What are her Vita. D levels? My parathyroid was elevated & my endocrinologist explained that it was because my Vita. D was low, causing me not to absorb my calcium. Hope this helps.
