    Author: Svacina S.
    Journal: Vnitr Lek; 2010 Jul; 56(7):736-8. PubMed ID: 20842922.
    Abstract:
    Diabetic osteopathy is usually not mentioned in the list of diabetic complications. This osteopathy is very important in clinical medicine. In the pathogenesis many factors are involved--bone formation, hyperglycaemia, glycosuria, glycation of collagene etc. Clinically important is the high risk of fractures present in diabetic patients. This risk can be positively and negatively modified by antidiabetic drugs. It is important to find some markers for fracture risk in diabetes. Nowadays only bone densitometry can be used with some limitations to quantify this risk.
