Objective: Using DXA, we have previously reported that children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) had short and thin bones (Bone, 2015). Calcium supplementation promotes bone mass accrual with sustained benefit observed using milk/milk-based calcium but not calcium salts. To investigate effect of 1-year supplementation with milk vs pharmacological calcium salt on bone mineral density (BMD) and geometryin Indian underprivileged children with T1D. Both groups received vitamin D supplem...
