Osteo-what-ia?
So it seems my broken bones can be attributed, in part anyway, to osteopenia. I’m still waiting for the results of some blood tests to get a little more information about what’s going on, but apparently my bone density isn’t quite up to snuff. From what I’ve read there’s some controversy over how to treat it — if to treat it at all — but unless the blood tests reveal an underlying cause other than my diabetes, the only treatment I foresee is to do what I should be doing, anyway — eating right , exercising, and being extra careful on my motorbike. Which implies that I intend to continue riding — a source of contention in our happy little home. No need for a showdown about it quite yet since my arm is still healing and the weather isn’t ideal, but soon, I think. Soon.

Start lifting weights. Just a couple of times a week and it will make a big difference. You don't have to get all jacked, a moderate overall program will really help the bones out.
