Study: Diabetes and its impact on bone health

Medicine is showing us even more complications of diabetes, the disease that has become more prevalent in the world, and here is a new medical study reveals the impact of diabetes on bones and its connection to the skin.

Diabetes and its impact on bone health:

A Spanish study showed that 30% of patients with type 1 diabetes were more likely than others to break their bones, especially when blood sugar levels increased to the point of causing complications such as retinalopathy.

Details of the study:

Researchers at the University of Barcelona have examined data from more than 47,000 diabetics, including 3,329 of the least common type, type 1. It occurs in early childhood or in adolescence, when the pancreas does not secrete insulin, and in other diabetics. The body can not produce enough insulin to convert blood sugar into energy.

Result of the study:

The study found that the risk of bone fracture was higher in type 1 patients, especially if their glucose levels increased significantly. The study's principal investigator, Francesc Formega, said: "Type 1 diabetics need to control sugar levels in a variety of ways to avoid multiple risks, including falls, fractures, cognitive impairment, nerve damage that limit the sensation of the foot and retinal dysfunction.
