The relationship between osteoporosis and diabetes: exploring the bone-metabolism interface

骨质疏松症和糖尿病是影响许多澳大利亚人的两种常见疾病。糖尿病患者骨折风险增加，但这种骨折风险增加的潜在机制尚不清楚。我们假设，由于胰岛素水平升高（如2型糖尿病），骨重建发生了变化，并将探讨导致骨折风险增加的因素，并研究治疗如何降低骨折率。

Osteoporosis and diabetes are two common conditions that affect many Australians. Diabetes patients have an increased risk of fractures, however the underlying mechanisms for this increased fracture risk is unknown. We hypothesise that there are changes in the bone remodelling as a result of increased insulin levels (as seen in type 2 diabetes) and will explore the factors that contribute to the increased fracture risk and examine how treatments can reduce fracture rates.
