The International Institute for Musculoskeletal Health Education (IIMHE) Blog – information and posts dedicated to advancing education, training, and research in musculoskeletal health.
The current clinical consensus is that insulin has a complex “double-edged” effect on bone: it acts as a powerful biological anabolic (bone-building) agent, yet its clinical use is paradoxically associated with a higher risk of fractures. This blog explores the underlying metabolic mechanisms relating to diabetes treatment and bone health.
