Type 1 diabetes and diabetic neuropathy have various effects on bone structure, but these effects do not explain why there is higher fracture risk in patients with type 1 diabetes.

‘Increase in the risk of fractures in type 1 diabetes is multifactorial including both skeletal and non-skeletal reasons.’

The results suggest that the increase in the risk of fractures in type 1 diabetes is multifactorial, with both skeletal and non-skeletal features involved.Read More..





"It is important to investigate what leads to an increased risk of fractures in type 1 diabetes. Our results suggest that in addition to bone features, balance and muscle strength also play a role," said lead author Tatiane Vilaca, MD, PhD, of the University of Sheffield, in the U.K.
"These findings could help improve approaches to fracture prevention."
