Bone material strength in normoglycemic and hyperglycemic black and white older adults

This cross-sectional study assessed cortical bone properties via impact microindentation in adults with normoglycemia, prediabetes, and early-stage T2D. Bone material strength index was stable across the glycemia categories in whites but it declined in blacks. Blacks may be more susceptible than whites to impaired cortical bone properties in early diabetes.Individuals with long-standing type 2 diabetes (T2D) have altered cortical bone material...
