High Bone Mineral Density and Fracture Risk in Type 2 Diabetes as Skeletal Complications of Inadequate Glucose Control: The Rotterdam Study

TLDR
Poor glycemic control in type 2 diabetes is associated with fracture risk, high BMD, and thicker femoral cortices in narrower bones, and it is postulate that fragility in apparently “strong” bones in ICD can result from microcrack accumulation and/or cortical porosity, reflecting impaired bone repair.
Abstract
OBJECTIVEdIndividuals with type 2 diabetes have increased fracture risk despite higher bonemineraldensity(BMD).Ouraimwastoexaminetheinfluenceofglucosecontrolonskeletal complications. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSdData of 4,135 participants of the Rotterdam Study, a prospective population-based cohort, were available (mean follow-up 12.2 years). At baseline, 420 participants with type 2 diabetes were classified by glucose control (according to HbA1c calculated from fructosamine), resulting in three comparison groups: adequately controlled diabetes (ACD; n = 203; HbA1c ,7.5%), inadequately controlled diabetes (ICD; n = 217; HbA1c $7.5%), and no diabetes (n = 3,715). Models adjusted for sex, age, height, and weight (and femoral neck BMD) were used to test for differences in bone parameters and fracture risk (hazard ratio [HR] [95% CI]).

Mechanisms of diabetes mellitus-induced bone fragility

TL;DR: Factors including treatment-induced hypoglycaemia, certain antidiabetic medications with a direct effect on bone and mineral metabolism, as well as an increased propensity for falls, all contribute to the increased fracture risk in patients with diabetes mellitus.

In vivo assessment of bone quality in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: In vivo microindentation testing of the tibia is performed to directly measure bone microarchitecture in 60 postmenopausal women to represent the first demonstration of compromised BMS in patients with T2D and highlight the potential detrimental effects of prolonged hyperglycemia on bone quality.

TL;DR: The prospect of harnessing the insulin sensitizing effects of PPARγ for more effective, safe, and potentially personalized treatments of type 2 diabetes is discussed.

International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems

TL;DR: There is substantial global variation in the relative burden of stroke compared with IHD, and the disproportionate burden from stroke for many lower-income countries suggests that distinct interventions may be required.

The pathobiology of diabetic complications: a unifying mechanism.

TL;DR: What was learned about the pathobiology of diabetic complications starting with that 1966 Science paper and continuing through the end of the 1990s are described, including a unified mechanism that links together all of the seemingly unconnected pieces of the puzzle.

Systematic Review of Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Risk of Fracture

TL;DR: An association between both type 1 and type 2 diabetes and increased risk of hip fracture in men and women and between studies conducted in the United States and Europe is supported.
