Synopsis

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is thought to be associated with menstrual and fertility disturbances, in addition to an increased risk of fracture. However, the link between menstrual disorders and bone health has not been well studied. This project aims to study reproductive challenges and its links to bone health in Australian females with T1DM.
