Relationship between diabetes and bone health status in adults with diabetes
Studies of bone density and diabetes have relatively strong evidence to suggest that type 1 diabetes has negative impacts on bone mass density; however, there seems to be more discrepancy in skeletal effects of type 2 diabetes. While many studies have shown normal to high BMD values in individuals …
