Bone and Mineral Metabolism in Diabetes

Bone and mineral metabolism in diabetes involves how the body manages bones and essential minerals like calcium and phosphorus. In diabetes, high blood sugar can disrupt hormone levels and affect bone health, leading to weaker bones and increased fracture risk. Insulin, which regulates blood sugar, also plays a role in bone formation. Additionally, people with diabetes may experience imbalanced mineral levels, impacting bones. Proper management of diabetes is crucial to maintaining bone strength and overall health, emphasizing the interconnectedness of blood sugar control and bone health.
