Diabetes is associated with an increased risk of fracture, however, neither bone mineral density, falls, diabetes complications nor other risk factors can explain why.
Among patients with diabetes, hyperglycaemia may have detrimental effects on bone, but also use of anti-diabetic treatment may have an impact on fracture risk. In this
article we assess the relationship between diabetes, bone and fracture and the effects of hyperglycaemia and anti-diabetic treatment on bone. Furthermore, fracture
preventive measures in patients with diabetes are evaluated.
