Was interesting to see that type 2s are not more prone to fractures which implies that insulin deficiency plays a role in this. It is hypothesised that insulin plays a role in bone formation as it is an anabolic hormone so if you had type 1 before age 30 ( I think this is the age we are still building bone density) and had HBA1c of 8%+ you be at greater risk...
No fractures here but possibly a bruise! At least we are not in a US style 'Polar vortex' today!!
