  1. Hi @adeshina!
    Welcome to the community! While you're waiting for the community, I thought I'd share some resources with you, and my personal experience. I know it feels daunting!

    I'm 62 and like you have struggled for years with weight. I've had some success with a low carb/keto eating plan. You should always consult with your healthcare team before making any changes. But overall, the foods we include in our lifestyle are a great place to start!
    I also wanted to share some great resources:

    And you might want to invite a certified diabetes educator and nutritionist to your team: https://type2diabetes.com/living/what-certified-diabetes-care-education-specialist
