- Individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) have an increased risk of fractures, prompting the American Diabetes Association to incorporate bone health assessments into their 2024 Standards of Care.
- A study compared bone mechanical properties and microstructure between 111 individuals with T1D and 37 healthy controls using various imaging techniques to assess bone health.
- Results showed no significant difference in bone mineral density (BMD) between the T1D and control groups, indicating that further research is needed to establish a distinct bone health profile for those with T1D.
