title: [Mineral content of the peripheral skeleton in patients with diabetes mellitus ].
abstract: In order to determine the effect of diabetes mellitus on bone mineral content, measurements with the iodine 125 isotope method of Cameron were carried out in the distal ulna and calcaneus of 40 patients. 38% of female and 20% of male diabetic patients showed abnormally low values. The most severe changes were found in patients with complications of diabetes. There was a correlation between the duration of the diabetes and the severity of the mineral loss.
