Older men with type 2 diabetes and low baseline HbA1c were more likely to sustain any fracture or a hip fracture over 3 years than similar men with HbA1c between 7.5% and 8.5%, with insulin use further increasing fracture risk, according to findings published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research.
Exercise prevents bone loss after bariatric surgery

Greater hip BMD gains seen with denosumab vs. teriparatide after long-term bisphosphonate use

Long-term bisphosphonate users who switched to the human monoclonal antibody denosumab experienced a gain in hip bone mineral density in the first year of therapy, whereas patients who switched to teriparatide experienced a transient loss in hip BMD, suggesting clinicians should exercise caution when changing osteoporosis agents for patients at high risk for hip fracture, according to a real-world analysis of electronic medical records.
