Most kind of anyone to nominate me, very grateful.
While I do feel I should give back in some small way for all the forum & its members help over the years.
I have to excuse myself this time round
recovery still ongoing from my 2021* crash, so I couldn't do myself or the forum justice right now.
I'd like to 2nd all the mods standing again, and say what marvellous picks so far for new mods...
Going to be so hard to pick just one.
Best of luck all
*Small edit.
I struggle with dates ..
all part of the concussion injuries, those in the know suggest

@HSSS and @DJC3 , thanks for the nomination, but I do have to decline. And my being far from level headed might have something to do with that!
(Just this morning I admitted to wanting to kick someone who was unkind to a member while they were hypo.).Seriously... I take on a little too much emotionally from the forum as it is. I doubt I'd make a decent mod, they see a whole lot more than what us "regullar" members see, I think. And it'd mean more interaction with humans than I am capable of handling. But I thoroughly appreciate the vote of confidence, especially from people who know enough about diabetes, to write books about it themselves. <3
I'm sorry that this is not the right moment for you, someone will just have to nominate you again next year!
And rest assured that you are giving back to the forum, and have done so for a long time, no need to be a mod for that.
In previous years we could put in a maximum of 3 votes and I expect this year won't be different, so thankfully we don't have to pick just one!
I'm thinking that's exactly the kind of level-headedness they were thinking of.@HSSS and @DJC3 , thanks for the nomination, but I do have to decline. And my being far from level headed might have something to do with that!
But I've adjusted the opening post to change the list of nominations and declines again.
Jjraak has declined, but @ianpspurs has been added to the list!
Also, 3 more nominations have come through PM:
@Rokaab , @Outlier and @miahara , how about having a go at it?

yee gods woman I was suggesting being a mod not a saintAnd my being far from level headed might have something to do with that!
.Seriously though that’s exactly when we need someone to notice bad behaviour. Maybe next year, cos I still think you’d be great even if you aren’t so sure.
I'm moving @ianpspurs and @Rokaab to the 'declined' list.
We could use some more nominations people!

Has anyone nominated @In Response ? If not then consider this a nomination.
its going to be really hard to decide this year as there are some great nominations I’m already torn over, so I’m not sure why I’m making that harder lol.

Thank you for the nomination.
However, self-moderation is hard enough and I some times fail so I think it would be inappropriate for me to take up this offer.
I am touched that you would consider me though.
I would like to nominate @catinahat
