[Diabetes-talk] Osteoporosis

[Tamera]

Weight training, while it can be very light weights, is what helps restore 
some bone loss.  Walking and aerobic is good for your circulation, but 
doesn't cause muscle growth, which is what is necessary to  maintain healthy 
bone.. especially as we age. But your doctor should discuss this with you.
