LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

February 19, 1997

Please send me the VOICE free, as I am newly diagnosed with diabetes. Your newspaper helped me and answered more questions than any other book I've read about diabetes. I love the stories... Your newspaper was given to me by a friend of my mother's from the library. I read it every second I get, page-to-page, over and over. It seems to help me cope better than any thing else I've read.

Thank you,

I just finished reading my first copy of the VOICE OF THE DIABETIC! I am a Personal Care Aide with our county. We have many diabetics who we care for in their homes. I got the copy from my supervisor! Great magazine!

Thanks again,

Please add my name to your mailing list. I saw and read your paper in the Mayes County Medical Center and thought it was very informative!

I am a diabetic and greatly appreciate your VOICE OF THE DIABETIC. I was never aware of this newspaper until I came by one. It should be available to diabetics. I would gladly help distribute them to other physicians in my community if possible. Fifty copies would serve the purpose.

We were at the doctor's office today (VA Hospital in Fresno, CA) and my husband spotted your newsletter. He normally isn't very interested in diabetic publications, but he was impressed with your publication. He is a pill-dependent diabetic with many of the side-effects of diabetes, which affect most every area of his life.

Thank you!!!

Thank you for your recent letter. The VOICE OF THE DIABETIC is an excellent publication and a great service for the diabetic.

I am interested in receiving the pamphlet "Diabetes, Complications, Options," for my waiting room. I see so many diabetic patients daily.

So far the response from our home health patients to VOICE OF THE DIABETIC has been very favorable. I was wondering if I needed to request our 100 copies each quarter, or if you send them automatically? Also, yes, we would be pleased to distribute the "Diabetes, Complications, Options" pamphlets. One hundred copies would be most welcome.

Keep up the good work. I appreciate reading your paper and I'm not a diabetic.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Danny Miller
Tunnelton, WV

(Editor's Note: If you order multiple copies, they come regularly, every quarter. Just call us if you need to adjust the amount.)

We receive VOICE OF THE DIABETIC and are very happy to receive this very informative newspaper. On May 3, we will be having a seminar... How can we get 100 copies of "Diabetes, Complications, Options?" Thank you.
