... not only do I know people in their 70s who are still working, usually part time, but I know people in their 80s and 90s who keep working, just because they enjoy having something to do, and even if they don't need the money. There are plenty of organizations that need volunteers.

For a pre-diabetic, a change of diet or fasting may help considerably. It might also reduce weight. Of course, look into it further and maybe consult a doctor, but it's worth considering.

If you have interesting things to talk about, others won't consider it whining. But that said, few people want to spend all their time speaking to just one individual. Spread it out. That's better for communicating ideas anyhow.
