I’d add that the combination of running, strength training and attention to a healthy diet resulted in my doctor saying I’m no longer a diabetic (8 A1Cs in a row under 6.0).

I’d first check the shoes. If shoes are fine then I’d think maybe I’m running too much. Sometimes a result of overuse if you run too often or increase your distances suddenly, or when you simply stub your toes when running, can be something what’s called a ‘turf toe’. Scale back your running and the issue can be sorted. But sometimes though, a problem could be inflammation of a tendon. In that case the problem won’t simply go away and you’d want to go and have that checked out. Good luck!

What would you recommend to overcome the pain at my toes joint.

I think it’s never too late. Benefits are numerous and if we are careful we can go on for a very long time. And why not! Happy running, Franco!
