[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - I'm surprised your parents aren't on any medications, especially your mom since she is overweight.  Or is it that they just don't go to the doctor?  Anyway, it might be a sign you have good genes and their habits and mentality might be more of the issue.

I'm in my 50s its just starting to hit me how my choices now could affect me 20 years from now.  A recently joined a local running club (but am still just walking now).  And many of the folks in the club are 60 and over.  They are super inspiring to me.  [/quote]

OP here. My overweight mother has some eyesight issues but is on no medications at all. She does the bare minimum as far as going to the doctor's but it's baffling that her cholesterol levels are fine when her diet and lifestyle are not. My father has diabetes and that is purely genetic, all the men in his family have it He's not on insulin yet but takes something for it. It hasn't seemed to affect him too much but he still eats sweets way more than he should, it's crazy. Anway, thanks for your insight. I hope their situation is more related to habits and mentality than genetics.

Kudos to you for joining a running club. That's awesome![/quote]
