I don't know what my number is, but I am on a good medication. I take Forteo injection one time a day, 750 CG. I will be sure and ask next time. Does anyone else take D3 plus calcium three times a day.

I do not recall what my number was, but mine was low too. I have to take a pill once a week and was told to eat Tums daily. My testosterone was very low too.

Examples are 0.8, 0.2 and -0.5. * A T-score between -1 and -2.5 indicates low bone density or osteopenia. Examples are T-scores of -1.2, -1.6 and -2.1. * A T-score of -2.5 or lower is a diagnosis of osteoporosis. Examples are T-scores of -2.8, -3.3 and -3.9. _WhoopieKat.com_ (http://www.whoopiekat.com/)
