Abstract Note

Increased fracture risks in diabetes mellitus (DM) have been attributed to deteriorated bone quality both in type 1 and 2 DM because increased risks are disproportionate to their bone mineral densities (BMD) . Although still very little is known about bone architecture in type 1 DM, recent advancement in the techniques, such as high-resolution peripheral quantitative CT (HR-pQCT) and trabecular bone score (TBS) , have revealed that, in type 2 DM, bone microstructure is compromised despite preserved BMD, which may account for high fracture risk in DM.
