Skeletal Effects of Type 1 Diabetes on Low-Trauma Fracture Risk

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

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 their bone density and the results of laboratory tests. On a wider scale, there may be general benefits to society because the knowledge gained from this study may help better understand the effects of diabetes on bone health

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:50 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:FEMALE
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:Yes
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. 1. No chronic disease diagnoses that may affect bone, as confirmed by the PI.
  2. 2. Normal clinical history, physical, and clinical laboratory exam (except for usual complications of a 10+-year diabetic, i.e., \~minimal neuropathy or retinopathy, known, but asymptomatic mild vascular disease, etc.)
  3. 3. Glomelular Filtration Rate (GFR) \>45 ml/min (Renal Association lower limit for "mild" kidney failure).
  4. 4. Willingness to sign a consent form.
  5. 5. Willingness to undergo a transilial bone biopsy incision that yields 2 bone specimens.
  6. 6. No abnormalities in clinical blood chemistry measurements (small, age-related decreases in GFR, will be permitted).
  7. 7. Caucasian
  8. 1. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measures (BMD, gm/cm) must be within +/- 15% in total hip.
  9. 2. Body mass index (BMI) must be within +/-10%.
  10. 3. Age must be within +/- 5 years.
  11. 4. Caucasian
  1. 1. Women who have had Type 1 diabetes for less than 10 years.
  2. 2. Non-insulin dependent Type 1 diabetic.
  3. 3. Less than 50 years old.
  4. 4. Less than 5 years post menopausal.
