What are the long-term effects of insulin use on bone density, and how can these risks be managed in diabetic patients, particularly postmenopausal women?
Long-term insulin use can lower bone density, increasing fracture risk in postmenopausal diabetic women. Management includes adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, regular weight-bearing exercise, and bone density monitoring.
