Abstract

  Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic hyperglycemia condition caused by absolute or relative insulin deficiency. In the course of the disease, metabolic changes occur affecting building blocks of fats, proteins and electrolytes especially calcium. Dexa machines allow early diagnosis and monitoring of minimal changes of 1%. Prolonged bad glycoregulation induces metabolic acidosis in patient with diabetes mellitus, which may cause disturbance in calcium metabolism.
