Adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have higher fracture risk as compared to non-diabetics despite having higher bone mineral density (BMD). Insulin resistance (IR) has been associated with increased BMD. However, it is not known if IR increases fracture risk.

Abstract

Adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have higher fracture risk as compared to non-diabetics despite having higher bone mineral density (BMD). Insulin resistance (IR) has been associated with increased BMD. However, it is not known if IR increases fracture risk.
