Thank you very much @Kat100 for the lovely sentiments expressed here - I think your comments perfectly encapsulate the outstanding support and friendliness that members of this forum freely extend to others, and which is probably the overriding reason for the DCUK's phenomenal success - 532,260 members worldwide, and growing every day!
(But if you are actually nominating me here, I'd have to say thanks, but no thanks. )
 
Happy to oblige, @AtkinsMo 's request, re personal statement of nominee:

Pipp. Female age 60+. T2 since 2005. 'Reversed' using Newcastle diet, losing 49kg in 2011. Have regained some weight, since. I have other disabling health problems including spinal injury, and blood disorder. I eat low carb way, exercise when I am able, usually in the swimming pool. Currently struggling with health, and trying to make sure I don't reverse the 'reversal'. I do understand and have empathy for anyone struggling to understand and improve their health. I try not to take life too seriously, like to laugh, but do accept there is a time and a place to be serious. Happy to continue learning from others, and be respectful of views, even those I don't agree with.

I agree that there have been several nominees more worthy and knowledgeable, who have, sadly, declined.

I do not profess to be expert in my knowledge of diabetes, but can usually find information. Not afraid to admit when I don't have an answer to a query.

The main reason I accepted the nomination is that I have gained so much support in the time I have been a member. I am very grateful to those who have and still do give so much of their time and knowledge to others so freely, and would be happy to give something back myself. I was unable to accept the moderator position offered last year for personal reasons of family bereavement.

If I am voted in I will do my best to live up to the appraisal of bluetit the member who nominated me, (that is to be sensible, pleasant and fair.) If not, then I will support those who are successful, and continue as I am, still learning, and still posting in a sensible, pleasant and fair way, when and where I think it will be of use.

Hope this is enough info.
Best wishes to all
Pipp
 
Yes all above I confirm , I nominated

Hi Everyone!

Unfortunately Catherine Cherub decided to stand down early and leave the forum for personal reasons.
But we wish her all the best and thank her for her hard work over the past few years.

Thankyou @Kat100 for the lovely words and compliments but I'm afraid it's not something that I'd really like to do. X
 
Hello
I would like to second the nomination of @Liam1955 who is always so very welcomin to newcomers. He spends a great deal of time offering support, advice and a great deal of encouragement to others.

Can I take this opportunity to thank @JohnEGreen for the nomination which was very kind of him. I have read the thread and thought about this and feel that as there are so many nominations I will not stand this time. Maybe in the future I would be able too o contribute. I think this is a wonderful forum and the members are kind , encouraging and very supportive.
@CaptainWard please could you remove my name from the list of nominees on this occasion. Thank you

@Kat100 you know me better than that. I'm far too politically incorrect & would probably be reprimanded for not censoring posts or banning members for inappropriate remarks
 
Ladies, this is a serious thread for Mod Nominations. Could we please keep to that. General chitchat on the chitchat threads please.

Thank you.
 
Good Morning everyone!

The voting process will be the same as always, though I appreciate your suggestions.

If we could keep this to JUST nominating please.

Thank you
 
Thank you @Kat100 but I decline the nomination to stand
