At the annual Florida Dietetic Association (FDA) meeting in Boca Raton, FL on July 21, 2008, American Diabetes Wholesale unveiled Destination Diabetes to the dieticians that attended.  The attendees were thrilled to hear about such a great website with all the educational and nutritional information that their patients need.  Many were excited to hear that they could start their own personal blog to share more information with their patients when they are not in a class or appointment.

ADW also raffled off three of Marlene Koch’s 375 Sensational Splenda Recipes cookbooks to those who had dropped their business cards off.  Also, an American Express gift card was raffled off.

ADW looks forward to working closely with the FDA in order to help in the education of their patients and also be the most affordable resource for all of the supplies that they need.

This week American Diabetes Wholesale unveiled its new information website, Destination Diabetes. Our featured guest is Marlene Koch ( nutritionist and cookbook author ).

Marlene Koch will provide health tips and advice monthly in the “Cooking with Marlene” section of Destination Diabetes. Marlene’s reputation has earned her the opportunity to appear on television, magazines, and the radio.

Destination Diabetes will become the premiere spot for diabetic information, with professional writers and delicious recipes. Stop by and see why Destination Diabetes is truly your home for diabetes information.

American Diabetes Wholesale and Author Marlene Koch, RD Launch Destination Diabetes(TM)

The American Diabetes Association estimates that 20.8 million children and adults in the United States have diabetes and of that number, 6.2 million are unaware that they have the disease. To assist in the education of people living with diabetes, American Diabetes Wholesale, a discount provider of diabetic supplies to individuals without insurance, underinsured or paying out of pocket, will be launching Destination Diabetes™, a free information portal that provides credible and useful information on a variety of health and wellness topics ranging from articles on diabetes management to diabetes friendly recipes and food lists. To assist in the site launch on Tuesday, June 24, 2008, Marlene Koch, RD, best-selling author, professional cooking instructor and nutrition educator, will be available to answer questions via live chat from 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. (EDT). The first 50 people who sign on will receive a free copy of her new cookbook, Marlene Koch’s Sensational Splenda Recipes: 375 Recipes Low in Sugar, Fat and Calories, and Marlene will also be giving away two 30-minute consultation sessions where she will share her secrets to bridging the gap between good food and good health.

“Our customers look to us as a trusted ally in the fight against diabetes,” said Chris Maguire, Vice President and Co-Founder of American Diabetes Wholesale. “The creation of Destination Diabetes was a natural progression and working with Marlene, a well respected nutritional advisor among the diabetes community, is helping us to provide better tools, resources and useful information to the people who need it most.”
The Destination Diabetes website will include a number of key features including a Destination Diabetes Advisory Panel comprised of experienced professionals and educators who have a diabetes specialty. Marlene Koch will serve as the Diabetes Nutrition Advisor and contribute nutrition-centric articles and recipes on a monthly basis.
Additionally, the site will also offer articles pertaining to diabetes management, a weekly e-newsletter and the ability for subscribers to share information and experiences with others through Diabetic Blogs and a Diabetic Forum.
