Diabetic Blogs - Join the Online Diabetes Community!

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.

August 6-9, 2008 are approaching fast. These are the days of the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) annual meeting in Washington D.C. This conference provides educational and networking opportunities for diabetes educators. American Diabetes Wholesale is excited to be attending the show again this year. Last year’s conference in St. Louis was a great success!

With nearly 400 visitors, ADW’s booth was frequented often, especially from the educators who were interested in the patients that ADW’s focus is on, the uninsured, underinsured and anybody paying out of pocket for their supplies.

If you will be attending the meeting, you can look for American Diabetes Wholesale at booth #1940 and get more information on the low cost diabetic supplies that ADW offers.

American Diabetes Wholesale is dedicated to keeping diabetes management affordable!

This past Saturday, March 29, 2008, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation held their annual walk in Boca Raton, FL in Mizner Park. There were approximately 3,000 people who showed up. The amount of awareness and money raised for such a great organization is amazing and exciting. American Diabetes Wholesale is proud to support the JDRF in ways such as this. It is now time for JDRF to start planning and organizing the next walk.

The weather forecast was rainy and thunderstorms, but it could not have turned out to be any more perfect of a day. The sun was out with a few clouds, and a nice little breeze every now and again. The two mile walk turned out to be successful. Approximately 8-10 ADW team members walked with family and friends.

The performances by local high school cheerleaders, bands, and singers were all outstanding. It created a great environment for a great cause.

Below are a few pictures included from the walk of members of the ADW team.

On March 25, 2008 on American Diabetes Alert day, American Diabetes Wholesale attended the health seminar at the Specialty Care Center in Fort Lauderdale, FL. There were about 100 patients who had showed up for a free blood glucose and also blood pressure readings. There was excellent lectures on diet, excercise, feet, eyes, stress, anything and everything that someone with diabetes would need to know about and how to manage.

It was a great turn out and another reason why ADW is here, and that is to help those without the resources for their everyday supplies. Majority could not afford anything at all let alone paying the high cost for their supplies. We have committed ourselves to keeping diabetes management affordable, and will continue to be there for those patients as a resource for them.

Upcoming event for American Diabetes Wholesale will be this Saturday, March 29, 2008 at Mizner Park in Boca Raton, FL for the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes.

American Diabetes Wholesale will be attending the “Healthy Living Expo” on March 7th, 2008 at the Savannah Recreation Center in The Villages, FL. This expo will be attended by almost 5,000 residents of the Villages area. There will be on-site screenings, testing and demos done.

American Diabetes Wholesale will be there to offer a lower cost option to the patients who are paying out of pocket for their supplies.
