1.Type 1 Diabetes
It usually starts in childhood, when your bones are still growing. With this condition, your body makes little or no insulin, a hormone that helps control blood sugar. It may also weaken your bones. Doctors aren’t sure why, but without enough insulin, your bones may not grow as well or reach their peak bone mass. Your doctor can help you manage the condition with drugs, diet, blood sugar tests, and lifestyle changes.
2.Osteoarthritis
This is the “wear and tear” type of arthritis. It damages the slippery tissue that covers the ends of your bones. That lets them rub together. Bone and cartilage can break off and cause pain and swelling. Over time, it can even change the joint’s shape. Exercise and losing extra pounds can help curb the pain and stiffness. Your doctor also may suggest medication and other treatments like electrical stimulation and sometimes surgery.
