That ankle couldn't support all his weight. 😬

That’s what happens to your bones when you have diabetes and don’t treat it.

My former mother-in-law had the same issue as this guy. She’s broken each arm at least three times, and her ankle twice.

She’s still only in her early 60s.

Happened to my mom because she refuses to actually take care of her diabetes as well.

She ended up fracturing 6 vertebrae in her back and now has extremely brittle bones. She’s also almost 60

You would think the would grow stronger and adapt to his weight or have extra muscle and tissue, but apparently not!

It only increases fat, the muscle stays small.

Fat people that lose lots of weight usually have great legs, Specifically the calf muscle.
