1Compared with control subjects, the serum 25OHD level, BMDs at the femoral neck and total hip declined in type 2 diabetes[(45±17 vs. 36±12 nmol/L), (0.93±0.17 vs. 0.85±0.14 g/cm2), (0.93±0.14 vs. 0.87±0.15g/cm2) (all P<0.05)]; The parathyroid hormone level in type 2 diabetes was higher in type 2 diabetes than that in control subjects (8.5±4.2 vs. 5.6±3.9 pmol/L) (P<0.05). Here, PTH is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
