Diabetes associated neuropathy, rather than retinopathy or CKD, responsible for increased fracture risk - data presented by Mohamad Nasser Osteoporosis IOF conference today. Fascinating data. Great to have Mohamad Nasser join our group BRistol Medical School (BRMS) Research

Today is #ZeroDiscrimination Day!

#Ageism is how we think, feel and act towards others or ourselves based on age.

Across all ages and generations, we have the right to be free from discrimination – including #ageism .
