Hi I am Randy Z and I am 65 and trying to find what others are doing. What kind of adjustments have you done if i might ask. I am planning on cutting out sugar as much as possible. I am possibly pre diabetic. Thank you for any help .

Hi Randy. The adjustments I've made in the past few years relate to keeping safe and maintaining a positive attitude. I have both sensory and motor PN which lends itself to poor balance. Adjustments such as using a cane when needed and I fought the idea of using one for quite some time. I also cut back on sugar intake to the point I've lost 10 lbs since September (intentional) just by reducing sugar. I have increased my hours of sleep each night, rest is good for PN. I was always a person on the go and now, I don't push it. In my mid 70's, I try to make sure I don't burn up too much energy in the morning hours, so I have energy later into the day as well. Best to you!
