Being a recent diabetic I am always looking for ways to learn about and control my disease I was on the American Diabetes websitehttp://www.diabetes.org/ / when I came upon a page for Older Adults with Diabetes. It is for age 55 and older.I am 51 so I am close enough. It contains a section called the Older Outreach Program called the Senior Signature Series.http://www.diabetes.org/in-my-community/awareness-programs/older-adults/ It has many pamphlets you can download in several languages.They also provide a few facts about Diabetes and the older population.There is also a phone number to call for more information. 1(800)-DIABETES .You can also register for a half day informational event in your area if you are 65 and older. Once you call you will find out if there is an event in your area. I highly recommend if you are a diabetic you download the Living Healthy with Diabetes booklet for age 55 and up. It is a wealth of information about your sugar counts and the importance of your diet and exercise.
Here is the link for the PDF Booklet

This seems like a great resource for you! I am glad that you found a website that really works with what you were looking to find out about the disease. There are so many websites out there, it is hard to sometimes fine something that relates to your situation.
