Fracture risk evaluation in patients with diabetes. * In diabetes, fracture risk at T-score < −2 equivalent for non-diabetes at T-score < −2.5 (see text). ** Depending on country-specific guidelines for therapies. *** For example, with TBS and/or “RA” – yes. ⁺ Diabetes-specific CRFs are listed in Table 3. ¹In certain countries, humerus or pelvis fractures are also sufficient to initiate therapy; otherwise, more than non-vertebral non-hip fragility fracture could be required to initiate therapy; alternatively, a non-vertebral non-hip fragility fracture should prompt further exams to evaluate fracture risk
