Objectives: To investigate the impact of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) on cortical and trabecular microarchitecture, and bone strength in adolescents; using High Resolution peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (HRpQCT) and microfinite element analysis. To our knowledge, this is the first study in children, assessing the impact of T1DM on skeletal microstructure and strength using HRpQCT.Methods: We recruited 22 patients aged 1216 years wit...
