Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for women with Type 1 Diabetes who are willing to help researchers understand how diabetes affects bone health. Participants will provide blood samples and undergo a procedure to take samples of their bone tissue.

About This Trial
Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) have a higher risk of low-trauma (osteoporotic) fracture that is 7-12 times higher than non-diabetics. The bone density of people with Type 1 Diabetes is higher at the time of fracture than in non-diabetics. This suggests the presence of underlying bone tissue mechanical defects. The potential benefits to participants would be knowledge gained about th…
