I reversed osteoporosis without drugs

I’m all for every tool available to stop & reverse this disease. My dx is new, -2.6 at the worst, & I want to know if I am loosing bone quickly & how quickly. I do take a small bit of thyroid drug, levothyroxine, but blood tests (T4, TSH) show it’s normal. A Continuous Blood Sugar monitor shows me my blood sugar drops very low (50) while sleeping & I am not diabetic. My heart rate is very low too, only 60 & above if I exercise, under 40 while sleeping. Since I have $10k of dental work, not interested in biphosphonates. Anyways, more than you wanted to know! Thanks for your comment.

With a -2.6 that is a different picture and it makes sense to see if you are losing bone via blood tests. Or another DEXA in a year (we can sometimes get this approved or pay for it: Someone said it is $400). You could try to find a TBS test (trabecular bone score) .

It seems like you have some other pressing problems! Do you wear a CGM? One of my kids has type 1 and two had ketotic hypoglycemia that dropped blood sugars overnight. They all do a snack with protein (and maybe a little fat) before bed. For years I got up to test the type 1 kid at 1 am and 3 am but the CGM alarm takes care of that now!

Heart rate in the 30's sounds pretty dicey and I hope you have a good cardiologist! It is hard having multiple issues and at -2.6 it might seem the bone issue could wait a bit 🙂
