Now I have a mental focus in this Forum, perhaps it is a good time to take control of my diet. Everything else seems determined to fall apart, at least I can control my size and be around longer to watch the bits fall off.

Love your sense of humor.
Just from personal experience, the low carb-high fat diet recommended on the diabetes forum has been a pretty easy adjustment. The best thing about it? You're not hungry all the time. Being hungry on diets always doomed me. You do have to give up all your munchy goodies, though, but less processed food cannot help but be a good thing.
Go for it.
