Hi Moxy, don't think you need to worry about diabetes as long as it's under control, no other problems etc..
With a score of 150 with job offer, if everything is in order, the job qualifies etc, then I'd say you have a very good chance of success.

The man I went to see on Friday was called Duncan. He now lives in England but still has a wife and five children in New Zealand. He lived in New Zealand for 15 years then brought his family back home to England for 10 years. But his family missed New Zealand so they all went back over to New Zealand but Duncan was very homesick and moved back
Home to England by himself. (  )
What he had to say about New Zealand was this:
Weather;
| Quote: | | It wasn't to hot and not too cold in my opinion just right so you are able to do all the activities you want without being boiled alive |
People;
| Quote: | | The people are very tolerant with immigrants as most of them are immigrants themselves so expect the major cities to be very multicultural |
Schools;
| Quote: | | Schools a very competitive and tend to make the children more so, this is a duel thing as your kid could be pushed more and do better or they could shy away from the pressure |
Price;
| Quote: | | The cost of living is allot cheaper compared to England cars also as well as boats mainly everything that is not imported from big distances |
(as you'd expect)
Scenery;
| Quote: | | The country is beautiful the best I have ever scene if you like water it an early heaven |
Then I had to ask him the question
Why did you come home?
| Quote: | | I came home because it was still my home I think why I never settled was that I moved at the wrong age where I was no longer a child but I had not yet explored my own country, got sick of it if you like |
I hope this helps I tried to remember all of his comments if you have some questions I’ll ask him for you the next time I see him,
Logging off MOXY! |

Thanks for those comments Moxxy. 
I can't imagine myself being homesick but you never know until you've done it. |
