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.

Sincerely,

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.

Sincerely,

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.

Thank you for your recent letter in regard to

VOICE OF THE DIABETIC. It has been a great informative tool for

our clients and our employees...

In regard to the pamphlet "Diabetes,

Complications, Options," mentioned in your letter, I feel it

would also be a good tool for our office. If you could send me a

quantity of 20 to share with our clients, I would appreciate it.

I look forward to receiving your pamphlets.

Thank you for supplying these materials; they

are very helpful to our agency and our clients.

Sincerely yours,

Thank you for supplying Rush North Shore

Medical Center with copies of VOICE OF THE DIABETIC. The

publication consistently receives high marks from our diabetic

patient population as well as professional staff.

I would also like to offer the "Diabetes,

Complications, Options" pamphlet to interested clients.

Please send me 50 copies for distribution, and I'll keep you

updated on the demand/supply ratio.

Sincerely,

Diabetic education IS vital, and I would like

to take advantage of your free literature. Please send me 250

copies of your publication, to be distributed to our diabetic

patients, members of our diabetic support group, and my Life

Skill students.

Thank you for providing an opportunity to

further educate the community.
