Diabetics are faced with the fact of time!

One study found that people with type 1 diabetes are more likely to break their bones when blood sugar is so high.

The researchers examined data from over 47,000 diabetics, including 3,329 patients with type 1 diabetes, the least common type of diabetes, usually occurring in childhood or early adolescence, when the pancreas does not secrete insulin.

The other participants in the study were people with type 2 diabetes linked to obesity and aging, and this occurs when the body can not use or excrete enough insulin to convert blood sugar in energy.

According to the study, the risk of bone fracture was higher in type 1 patients when their average blood glucose was significantly higher.
"It is important for type 1 diabetics to control their blood sugar for a variety of reasons, as well as to avoid fractures," said researcher Francesque Formega of the University of Barcelona.

"People with high sugar levels should be aware that this affects their overall health and bones, and can increase the risk of fractures, so they must change their treatment based on the doctor's recommendations," Formega said.

"Diabetes has long been badociated with an increased risk of fractures, but the results of research on the role of hyperglycemia in this regard have varied," said researcher Christian Meer of the University Hospital of Basel.

Some complications of diabetes can increase the risk of falls and fractures, including cognitive and nerve damage limiting foot sensation, as well as retinopathy of the retina, making it difficult for the patient to see obstacles in his path and potentially cause his fall.

The study showed that patients with type 1 diabetes with complications such as retinopathy were 29% more likely to have fractures than those who had none.
