I am 61 active and a diabetic, I was on 2 medicines for the sugar, high blood pressure medicine, and the doctor tried to put me on statins which I refused. I just purposely lost 17 pounds, and will lose another 10 putting me at 145 lbs and am 5 9. I am off all the meds, my sugar varies between 110 and 180 which is better than when I was 172 lbs and on meds. When I get to 145 and will restrict my calories to maintain that weight, I think my sugar will be even better. 145 is kinda thin, but if it keeps me of the meds,,thats where I will stay,

I ride about 120 miles a week on a fixed gear bike.
