Keeping Diabetes Management Affordable

American Diabetes Wholesale will be attending the Florida Dietetic Assocation’s 2008 Exhibition at the Boca Raton Resort & Club in Boca Raton, FL.  The event will be held on July 20 and July 21 for exhibiting vendors.  ADW is working hard with not only diabetes educators, but dieticians also.  Many dieticians become CDE’s, but even for the ones that don’t, ADW wants to make sure that their patients have a resource for affordable supplies and all the educational information they will need.

ADW will be proud to introduce or new Destination Diabetes educational website to all the hard working dieticians at the exhibition.  Also, that their patients can still eat healthy at a reasonable price with our discounted prices on products such as, Glucerna, ZonePerfect, and Walden Farms.

Last Friday, American Diabetes Wholesale honored the winner of ADW’s Diabetes Educator of the year 2007 - Barbara Odom. We had a ceremony at our office with a few key speakers and some of Barbara’s family members. This was a great day for ADW as we rewarded Barbara for all her hard work. Barbara Odom is a truly amazing individual who is dedicated to her profession and to her patients. As the winner, she received a free two night stay at the luxurious Boca Resort and Spa.

American Diabetes Wholesale’s Diabetes Educator of the Year contest was created to honor and reward these healthcare professionals who are on the front lines helping in the fight against diabetes. Due to the great success of the first ever Diabetes Educator of the Year contest, our company has decided to make this an annual event. We understand the import role these educators play and we are hoping to have an even bigger event next year!

Congratulations Barbara – ADW is proud and honored to have you named our first ever Diabetes Educator of the Year!

Free clinics throughout the country are dedicated to providing care to those who are in need. The majority of clinics are non-profit organizations funded by donations, and some grant money to accomplish their goals: blood tests, blood glucose screenings, providing prescription medications, and in some cases, providing diabetes testing supplies.

Aware of clinics’ needs for these diabetic supplies, American Diabetes Wholesale is dedicated to providing these supplies, as well as remaining the best resource for the patients in need of diabetic supplies. American Diabetes Wholesale has made multiple donations to organizations like these, and will continue to do so in the future.

By working directly with certified diabetes educators, clinics, and other diabetes programs, American Diabetes Wholesale is staying committed to keeping diabetes management affordable!

The American Diabetes Association’s Step Out to Fight Diabetes walk in Fort Lauderdale this past weekend was very successful.

American Diabetes Wholesale’s team of walkers had a lot of fun walking the course for such a great cause. As a company we donated nearly $2,000 to just this walk alone. The weather report wasn’t very promising for the event, but it turned out to be a little cloudy, but fortunately, no rain.

There were a lot of walkers who came over to our table thanking us for being there for people without insurance. There were also people who did not have insurance who expressed their enthusiasm to find out there was a company out there to help them.

Thanks to the ADA for such a wonderful, well planned event!

On Saturday October 20, 2007 American Diabetes Wholesale volunteered at the ADA’s Step Out walk in West Palm Beach, FL. Approximately 300-400 people showed up to walk and show their support for the fight against Diabetes. Early in the morning it was raining, but that did not stop the dedicated volunteers in setting up the vendor tables and water stations.

Some volunteers were there at 3:00 a.m. to start the setup. This is a prime example of how dedicated people are to finding a cure for Diabetes.

Next up is the walk in Fort Lauderdale on October 27. ADW will have a team of walkers at this event.

We work hard at American Diabetes Wholesale to stand behind our commitment to the diabetic community. Our role in the “fight against diabetes” is to ensure everyone is able to get affordable diabetic supplies. We understand the importance of monitoring blood glucose levels and the complications that may occur, if not properly controlled.

The cost of necessary supplies should never be a barrier to anyone’s health. This is why we will continue to provide the lowest prices on all our diabetic testing products. We carry almost every brand available so our customers can choose which brands best meets their needs. With the launch of our September weekly diabetic newsletter we recently lowered prices on many of our most popular brands. ADW – Keeping Diabetes Management Affordable!

Out of the all the diabetics that I met there, one particular family stood out the most.  A young lady, along with her parents, approached our display, with a look of great interest on her face. I introduced myself and American Diabetes Wholesale, and discovered that the father was a diabetic.

They had quite a dilemma too. In addition to being uninsured, the man could not meet his doctor’s testing requirements.  Apparently, his doctor’s instructions were to test 4-5 times a day, but, due to their financial situation, he could only afford to test once in the morning and once before bedtime. As a diabetic myself, I realized it was vital for him to test as per his doctor’s orders, and the cost of supplies should not hinder his health. He was greatly relieved to find out about our company and the great discounts we offer on diabetic products. 

This story is another example of how American Diabetes Wholesale’s dedication to keep diabetes self-management affordable helps everyday people maintain a healthy lifestyle.
