I have posted a question regarding what to take while I am training for a 40 mile walk and would appreciate any advice you have. Many thanks. Brian

That's fine.
I'm a year older than you and diagnosed Type 2 for about 18 months.
One of the important indicators is your HbA1c blood test results. That will give you and us an idea of how far into the diabetic range you are and how much lifestyle adjustment might be required - hopefully without medication.
