Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) and osteoporosis are two prevalent metabolic disorders that often coexist, presenting a complex interplay with significant clinical implications. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the relationship between DM and osteoporosis, exploring underlying mechanisms, shared risk factors, and potential treatment strategies. A thorough literature review was conducted, examining recent research findings and clinical studies on this topic. The paper discusses the impact of DM on bone metabolism, the role of insulin signaling pathways, and the influence of chronic hyperglycemia on bone tissue. Furthermore, it explores the bidirectional relationship between DM and osteoporosis, highlighting how osteoporosis may exacerbate diabetic complications and vice versa. Various treatment options, including lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapy, and emerging therapies targeting both DM and osteoporosis, are also discussed. Overall, a multidisciplinary approach integrating diabetes management and osteoporosis prevention is crucial for optimizing patient outcomes and reducing the burden of these interconnected conditions.
