Determinants of Low Bone Turnover in Type 2 Diabetes-the Role of PTH.

Determinants of low bone turnover in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are poorly understood. To investigate the relationship between markers of bone turnover, glycaemic control, disease duration and calciotropic hormones in T2DM we assessed baseline biochemical data from the DiabOS Study, a prospective multicenter observational cohort study. In a cross-sectional study-design data from 110 postmenopausal women and men aged 50-75 years diagnosed with T2DM for at least 3 years and 92 non-diabetic controls were evaluated.

Cystic-fibrosis related-diabetes (CFRD) is preceded by and associated with growth failure and deteriorating lung function.

Background: Impaired glucose metabolism and cystic fibrosis (CF)-related diabetes (CFRD) are associated with insufficient weight gain and impaired lung function in children and adolescents with CF. We have asked whether imminent CFRD may be a cause of poor growth in children and adolescents.

Methods: A retrospective case control study including 32 patients with CF with or without diabetes was conducted.
