Subject: Diabetes and bone loss: Strategies to manage bone health with diabetes
A recent study has indicated that bone density can be affected by diabetes in addition to the already long list of complications it causes. The high levels of glucose and possible loss of calcium in the urine can adversely affect the bones, which can lead to life-threatening bone fractures. Diet and exercise are already recommended to help deal with diabetes, but these things are also very important for maintaining bone health. A calcium supplement may also need to be added to the diet if absorption is low or loss of the mineral is high in the urine.
Key Takeaways:
- Diabetes can increase the risk of bone loss, and the severity of diabetes can determine its impact on bone health.
- Many studies have even shown that type 2 diabetics, even with above average bone mineral density, are still at a higher risk for bone
- The researchers measured the women’s bone material strength and found that diabetics had weaker bone material strength.
