Foods/supplements which promote bone knitting?

So this weekend while out on a ride, I contrived to break my ischium (yes I had to look it up too).

Doc says I need to spend at least 4 weeks immobile for the bone to knit. I am coming back to the UK around June 20th so need to ensure the bone repairs itself in good time. I know rehab follows etc.

Which diabetes friendly foods promote bone knitting? Supplements are ok too.

I think we have similar diets. Soy milk, tofu, and fish are widely available here. Do you think that a Vitamin D supplement might accelerate the healing? It will be a 13 hour flight so I need to be fixed, even if rehab is not started.

Ouch!

A possibly useful article here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5804294/

As a T2 who is diet controlled I made sure I have enough vit d (D3) as my level tends to be low - going low carb helped a lot as I eat more cheese plus full fat yogurt and milk. I also have fresh salmon nearly every week and plenty of eggs plus green veg every day for vit c and iron.[/Q

Comfrey was historically called ‘knitbone’, but whether it actually did any good or is safe, I have no idea. I think it was used a a poultice.

Apparently good for joint and sprain pain? As a herbal remedy, yep. According to this anyway

I’m not opposed to the painkillers they have given me. Cheers anyway
