Thin, in shape,newly diagnosed and confused

[jmsky]

I am 62 years old, 5'11" tall, 172 lbs. and work out five days a week for at least 45 min. and play golf three to five times a week.
My father had diabetes, but not until he was in his 80's.
Confused as to diet. Most diets seem to be based on losing weight.

that's because most are overweight when diagnosed. LCHF will be fine for normal weighted people. the fat makes up for the lost calories with low carb.
look at the video's too

I agree with Jack - a low carb diet is quite suited improving you glucose levels without you losing weight. I've accidentally maintained my weight ( instead of continuing to lose more!) while being unwell on my low carb diet, due to easing off a bit.
