I can relate to this. I am 38. I got blood Pressure of around 180 and High blood sugar of around 273. It seems like I am in Type 2 category as well. I walk. I meditate a lot. But I need to cut back on evening food. i am reducing my weight like that. No food after 5 pm. I am not lucky from having a family side. I am single and mostly used and abused by family. So I know how short life is and how success matters when you live with health issue.
Take care. Sugar is like second wife that doesn't leave you lol. But yeah positive thinking, living in the moment is what we have now in hands :)
