Brief Summary

This study will conduct a randomized controlled trial targeting patients with type 2 diabetes and a high risk of fractures. The aim is to evaluate the intervention effect of denosumab combined with edilossobulin on patients with a high risk of osteoporotic fractures due to type 2 diabetes, as well as its impact on bone density, bone turnover indicators, the risk of new fractures, and the risk of hypocalcemia. This will provide scientific evidence for clinical diagnosis and treatment, and offer important clinical research evidence for formulating national health policies.

Drug: Denosumab combined with eldecalcitol treatment in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with osteoporosis patients

Interventions

Denosumab combined with eldecalcitol treatment in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with osteoporosis patients DRUG

1. Antihyperglycemic drug therapy: Follow the Chinese Diabetes Treatment Guidelines and clinical practice standards. Adjust the antihyperglycemic regimen based on blood glucose levels, with a target HbA1c of below 7.5%. 2. Denosumab injection (Mai Lishu), 60 mg subcutaneous injection, once every six months, combined with eldecalcitol soft capsules (Gai Sheng Yuan), 0.75 μg/capsule, take one capsule orally once daily, for one year of treatment.
