He did have some physical health issues, but was "all there" mentally right up to the very last day. And while his blood sugars did shoot up when he got ill or had infections they remained quite stable and pretty normal - fasting levels in the 90s and PP levels not that high - despite eating probably a 80% carb diet - mostly sugars and refined grains, and no medications beyond metformin.
