A frequent late complication of diabetes, which is however not so well-lit, is the risk of fractures. The reason for the increased risk of fractures has not yet been determined, but studies suggest that diabetic nerve damage, among other things, can have an impact. A research team is now investigating the link and other causes of bone fractures in people with type 2 diabetes. Julie Nielsen, doctor and PhD student at Steno Diabetes Center North Jutland gives an exciting insight into the research in episode six of the Diabetes Researchers.
Diabetes researchers are published in a collaboration between the seven Steno Diabetes Centers. All podcasts are in Danish.
