| I've found this to be absolutely true.
I'm not sure why. It could be nerve damage, it could be (as they mention) the extra meds piling up in my body. (I try to keep those at a minimum.) Things that caused hardly a blip on the radar in my 20's and 30's can spike me. Chasing a morning high is harder--it lasts longer.
I know that I am physically easier on my body now that I have a little stiffness in the mornings, I pick up dropped items off the floor with a little less **umph** than I used to. Activity decline? I try to make up for this in other ways.
And I'm a type 1. I pretty much know how to "do" diabetes. I wonder how many of these things make it tough for older type 2 diabetics to control things and instead they are given a bad time by their advisors who assume it's all the diabetic's fault.
It will be interesting to follow this information in the future.
