Diabetes mellitus and male osteoporosis. Is there a relationship?

Within-plan variability in evaluations of care by Medicaid and commercial health plan member evaluations is too great to permit meaningful inference about plan performance for one population from the other for many important outcomes; separate surveys should still be fielded.
