Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Group I: osteoanabolic therapy, antiresorptive bone therapy; Group II: previous low-energy fractures and/or osteoprotective therapy; Group III: osteoanabolic therapy, antiresorptive bone therapy; Group IV: previous low-energy fractures and/or osteoprotective therapy; General exclusion criteria which apply for all of the aforementioned groups: 25 (OH) Vitamin D 40 kg/m2, pregnancy, severe renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration <30 ml/min/1.73 m²) or current hemodialysis, medication with negative impact on bone (steroids, anabolics, pioglitazone etc.), secondary disorders of bone or mineral metabolism (Primary hyperparathyreoidism, Paget´s disease, osteogenesis imperfecta, osteomalacia), metallic implants on the non-dominant arm or both lower legs.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary objective is the difference in body mass density between participants with type 1 and type 2 diabetes considering the presence or absence of a previous low-energy fracture and to compare bone mass density and structure assessed by HR-pQCT and DXA in individuals with type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes with and without previous low-energy fractures.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare ncRNA profiles in those with type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes with or without previous low-energy fractures.
