Hello! First of all, I must tell you that you need to take medication exactly as it is prescribed. Second off all, you need to control blood pressure and blood sugar every day. You need to follow healthy diet, too. High pressure in combination with diabetes can cause ischemic optic glaucoma and glaucoma. I assume that you have type 1 diabetes because your problem with osteoporosis. One of characteristic of type 1 diabetes is that it is cause of low bone mass.
