At my age, not concerned about weight but rather, my gene pool that can fit in a thimble.
My GF hit 5.7 on her A1C test 1.5 months ago. She (and I) both have family history of diabetes. Needless to say she went full on course correction with meals and exercise. She's eliminated carbs and she's visibly getting slimmer while gaining muscle fitness. She has another 1.5 months to go so she's hoping to score lower on her next test.
My brother was diagnosed with diabetes in early 2023 and almost died due to no diagnosis. He just rolled on with life until he started sleeping 11 hours a day. Finally went to a walk in clinic where they told him his blood is toxic and he has an extremely high chance of a heart attack.
Now, he's on Ozempic. People think they're invincible until they realize they're just human.

Update:
My GF got the results from her latest bloodwork. She went from a 5.9 (I incorrectly wrote 5.7 above ^) to a 5.5 in 3 months. The doctor was very surprised to see such a result. I think she's too thin now for her height but she'll make adjustments to keep some weight on.
I guess having a genetic predisposition can direct one to a more focused directive and, additionally, an enlightening experience along the way.
She doesn't even miss the highly processed food including the white rice she used to gorge. Just one cup of brown rice every 1 or 2 days.
I haven't promised to give up fries yet...
