Abstract
Osteoporosis is characterized by decreased bone density and microarchitectural changes which
lead to fragility fractures. Type 2 diabetes mellites is also exposed to fragility fractures by
interfering with the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It also dysregulates calcium,
phosphorus, and magnesium metabolisms.
