Hello Leigh,
I am diabetic 2 ( found out last year ) and I only joined the forum a few days ago - and getting so much good advice from other members.
I too am 60 years young - I run my own building business over here in Sweden, and also run a entertainment & media web site -
The only problem I have right now- is I can not stuff myself with chocolate Easter eggs - this will be my first year not doing this - and boy ! I love chocolate - especially those cream eggs.
We are not on lock down yet over here in Sweden - but I have took one month of work to see how this coronavirus pandemic will spread over here - best to be safe than sorry.
As other members have said- I am sure you will find friends of your own age over on this fantastic forum- and as you see already- even though we are not the same age as you - we do care, as we have responded to your message.
So chin up - and stay safe
