Im sorry for your situation. Im 62 here. Only advice I can give you (from personal experience) stay thin, work and workout hard but rest hard as well. My wife also suffers from diabetes but a low carb diet has helped her tremendously and even I have dropped pounds just supporting her diet. A combination of cycling, diet and God's will has helped my health so far.
Financially... I know it's tough keeping insurance, I guess I should not complain about my job.
Good luck to you my friend, God bless.
