Table 1

Clinical risk factors associated with poor bone health in T1D.

Clinical risk factors for low bone mineralizationClinical risk factors for fracture risk

(1) Young age of T1D manifestation
(2) Poor glycemic control
(3) Presence of diabetic complications
(4) Daily insulin dose > 0.67 U/kg
(5) BMI < 23.5 kg/m2
(6) Renal function < 88.8 mL/min
(1) Low lumbar spine BMD (only for moderate and severe vertebral fractures)
(2) Poor glycemic control
(3) Presence of diabetic complications
