I discovered Voice of the Diabetic this summer when my mother gave me a copy she had picked up at her doctor's office here in Dallas. This is an excellent publication and well worth telling others about, so I am now giving these to as many people (diabetics) as I possibly can (approximately 150 people).
Please send me a complete NFB literature catalog and also please send in large print, your book Diabetes Action Network Articles. Reading and research about diabetes has become my favorite hobby. Sometimes I even teach a diabetic class. My goal is to stay healthy myself, so I can help others. May God bless you all as you all help others! Thanks!

I got a copy of your paper and I really love reading the articles in your paper. I like to have anything on being a diabetic: the meals you should eat, and a paper to tell how high your sugar intake should be and any information would help me.
Thanks.

When I read your letter and the "non-response" from MiniMed, combined with the functionality of the Paradigm pump, it is clear that MiniMed does not consider visually impaired diabetics a "high priority." This is unfortunate, since I have found the pump to be very helpful in treating my diabetes. The new generation of pumps is not designed for anyone with even the slightest visual dysfunction. I thought you would benefit from my experience and comments--I enjoy the Voice tremendously and always pass it on to fellow diabetics. I find your publication most informative especially for someone like me who has had the disease for a long time and is far beyond the basics of diabetic problems and treatment.
Keep up the good work.

You seem to have so much more information, in a more understandable presentation than I have found elsewhere. I am disabled and my husband is also, and we try to keep up with anything that will help us in our fight with diabetes.

I enclosed my subscription form for your quarterly magazine published by the Diabetes Action Network of the National Federation of the Blind, Voice of the Diabetic.
I presently live in a subsidized 12-story high-rise, with many blind tenants disabled by diabetes, high blood pressure (2), uncertain how they lost their vision.
I will continue to send monetary aspects when I can, because I found your magazine very enlightening and was amazed at how thorough, comprehensive, and informative that even a lay person could comprehend.
Would you please increase your quantity of magazines to my residence?

Thank you so much for the diabetes articles and compiled booklet drawn from the previous copies of Voice of the Diabetic; these are very informative. I also received some copies of the Voice of the Diabetic, Volume 18, #3. You're doing great work along with your staff at the Materials Center. Please keep up the spirit, well done!
Thank you. Yours faithfully,
