Background: Several bone metabolic pathways are disrupted in diabetes mellitus (DM), leading to reduced bone mass. Increased fracture risk and elevated Dickkopf-1, which is an inhibitor of the Wnt/b-catenin bone metabolic pathway, have been documented in adult patients with type 2 DM. No relevant data exist on childhood type 1 DM (T1DM).Objective and hypotheses: We aimed at studying plasma Dickkopf-1 concentration in children and adolescents with T1DM an...
