Morning folks

I just wanted to update you with some exciting news. Since our amazing admin @Northerner retired last year Diabetes UK have been looking for a replacement and decided to spread the role between two people (which shows quite what an amazing job Alan did over all those years!).

I am really happy to say that I have accepted one of the positions and as of Monday morning I will be journeying to DUK Towers to be inducted in the newly created ‘Online Community Coordinator‘ role. The other half of the job will be starting slightly later I think, but I’ll let that person introduce themselves in time.

I am really excited by the opportunity, and look forward to supporting and nurturing the forum over the coming months and years. It will be good to put some proper, regular, time to the forum, rather than just popping in on and ad-hoc basis and I’m really pleased that Diabetes UK value this community and want to support and grow it so that it can help even more people.

I just wanted to thank you all up front for making this amazing community what it is, and look forward to supporting you all going forward.

Congrats Mike, well done on a well deserved appointment. I'm sure you will relish the challenge.

Great news, Mike - as others have said it's good to have someone we already know, and know gives good advice, taking over from Alan 🙂

Anything and everything Mike has done in the past with regard to the forum has been on a voluntary basis (cos he can) so worth at least double the true cost of it. At least in future we know he will get some recompense!

Very Best wishes Mike, for your 1st day in your new role.
