The fall of BMD from presentation (0.456 g/cm 2 [95% CI 0.411–0.502]) to 3 months of casting (0.433 g/cm 2 [0.389–0.476]) was highly significant ( P < 0.001), both in type 1 ( P = 0.002) and type 2 diabetes ( P = 0.004), but the subsequent fall of BMD from 3 months of casting to clinical resolution was not significant (0.433 g/cm 2 [0.389–0.476] to 0.432 g/cm 2 [0.388–0.477]; P = 0.949).
