Diabetes-related impairment in bone strength is established early in the life course

Figure 1 Comparison of blood glucose (mg/dL) in non-obese diabetic (dark gray bars) and syngenic non-diabetic (light gray bars) mice at 11 and 15 wk demonstrates initiation of the type 1 diabetic phenotype. Error bars represent SEM. At five, eight (data not shown) and eleven there was no difference in blood glucose levels between strains of mice. ^aHowever at 15 wk, non-obese diabetic mice had significantly greater blood glucose than NOD.scid mice and concentration was indicative of diabetes (< 120 mg/dL).
