I've heard pluses and minuses around keto. But dropping 20 lbs, especially if you're a diabetic, is probably a good idea. That can only help. (note: I am not a doctor, this is not medical advice.)

Mom had dementia the last five (or more) years. She lived on her own, and I didn't really notice it. When I'd visit, she had post-it notes around. She would word-find. Didn't seem (to me) that she had dementia, just getting old. But when she fell, the hospital staff noticed it immediately. So I have that in my family history now. She was the first that my aunt knew about.

Yeah, preparing your "affairs" is a smart thing to do, but also kinda hard. When I had my health scare back in 2019, I wasn't sure if I'd make it a year. So I made lists of our accounts, logins/passwords, made sure she knew how to use Quicken to track finances, did a few things around the house. Looking back on it, I don't think she liked it, but she cooperated to appease me. She hid her stress well.

I need to redo the accounts list soon. It's just a good practice to have that regardless of your prognosis.
