Hi Jim - good to get to know you! Just to let you know my husband and I are also practising Christians - I'm a deacon at our local Elim Pentecostal church, and am doing a degree in Applied Theology! We are also both type 2! Well done on losing the weight - we are still struggling doing that - not helped when one of my lovely sons brings us a toblerone home!!
 
Hello and welcome to the forum, Jim. Best wishes and congratulations on your retirement next week!
