My grandfather lost both legs and passed away at 71 in 1973 (he lived in Scotland) , my father made it to 79 and other than being diabetic he was fairly healthy until about 75. He lost both legs, parts of both hands, and was blind for the last couple of years.
I don't think either of them really changed their diets, both continued to drink, etc.
I've adopted the GI diet by Rick Gallop which has worked for me so far. Additionally I have extremely high levels of iron in my blood (I hope you don't mind but that's where I got "C Irons" from, I do live in Norwood, my first name initial is C).
My iron is about twice normal but has jumped at times (usually in the winter) to 5 and 6 times the norm. Bad for the liver & joints - like being diabetic - walk - diet - water.
Beyond that my son is epileptic, has had four brain surgeries, and one VNS (pace maker like) device installed to control his siezures, so my diabetes is nothing compared to what he goes through.
