In conclusion, our study shows that a diabetes duration of 10 years or more, strict glycaemic control resulting in HbA1c levels below 6%, and/or the presence of at least one microvascular complication increased the risk of any fracture, hip fractures, MOFs, and humerus fractures, but not ankle, scapula or skull fractures.
