TuDiabetes - A Community for People Touched by Diabetes

UPDATE:
Voting is over for the TuDiabetes Awards 2008.

Check this discussion to find out who the winners were after Monday, Dec. 29 @ 6 pm Pacific Time.


We are getting to the end of the year 2008, a year during which the TuDiabetes family has grown quite a bit! We have more than 6,000 members!

The community is only possible thanks to all of you, so we want to celebrate through the TuDiabetes Awards 2008. This is a way to recognize the merit of some of our committed members.

Categories for the Awards:

TuDiabetes Un-Certified Educator: a member you have learned so much from that it feels like talking to a diabetes educator… without the certification.

TuDiabetes Creative Mind: a member who makes super-creative contributions to the community, as part of a contest or not.

TuDiabetes Geek: a member who comes up with technical answers to problems related to software, gadgets, web sites, etc. that come up in TuDiabetes.

TuDiabetes Comedian: a member who plain-and-simple makes you laugh with his/her comments and contributions.

TuDiabetes Life Coach: a member who is there for you (and others) and gives you support and great advice to carry on in the midst of a challenge.

TuDiabetes Good Eating Fan: a member who advocates for healthy eating… and walks the talk (or rather, eats the talk).

TuDiabetes Active Lifestyle Fan: a member who sets a good example of exercise as part of our lives and as an important element of diabetes management.

TuDiabetes Crusader: a member who invests lots of time advocating on behalf of the diabetes community at large.

How does it work?
1) Think of a member that you feel reflects the spirit of the description besides each category. You can nominate a different member for each category or repeat the same member across multiple categories as you see fit.
2) Once you have put together your list, copy and paste this text (for convenience):

TuDiabetes Un-Certified Educator:
TuDiabetes Creative Mind:
TuDiabetes Geek:
TuDiabetes Comedian:
TuDiabetes Life Coach:
TuDiabetes Good Eating Fan:
TuDiabetes Active Lifestyle Fan:
TuDiabetes Crusader:

3) Write next to each category the name of the member you are nominating, the URL for their profile page (so we make sure to tally the numbers correctly) and (optionally) why you are nominating this member for this category. You don’t need to nominate one person for each (though it would be cool).

A video announcing the winners will be posted on the site before the end of 2008. There may be some surprises announced on that video too… ;)


Note: the founders of TuDiabetes (Manny and Andreina) are not eligible to be nominated… but they can nominate others. ☺
