I am 68 yo, and turning myself into the medical establishment in Jan 2019 to address the pre-diabetes which is surely no longer "pre". I am at my highest weight and lowest activity level ever. For the past 2 years I have been flirting with slow suicide via these choices. It was finally acknowledging to myself the increased loss of sensation in my extremities (fingers and toes) was possibly leading to amputation. THAT I do not want.
