title: [Therapeutic considerations on secondary osteoporosis caused by diabetes mellitus].
abstract: Diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis are evolving from BMD (bone mineral density) dependent manner to bone quality conscious manner. However, clinical methods to evaluate bone quality of diabetic patients have not been established yet. Therefore, many potentially osteoporotic patients with diabetes are not recognized as high fracture risk patients under the current therapeutic guideline of osteoporosis. On the other hand, some drugs for osteoporosis affect pathophysiology of diabetes. In the future, it is possible that drugs for osteoporosis are chosen according to the diabetic state of each patient.
