If you choose to register as a Diabetes Health community member, your comments will post immediately, allowing you to interact with other members of the Diabetes Health community in real time.

You may also comment anonymously if you prefer. If you choose to post anonymously, your comments will be sent to our moderator for approval before they appear.

Diabetes Health reserves the right to remove comments when necessary to maintain the cordial voice of the diabetes community.  

Digital Advantage™

This online version of Diabetes Health magazine, virtually identical to the bi-monthly Diabetes Health print magazine, has many additional useful features. While the pages turn in a similar fashion to a magazine’s, direct hot links lead to research articles, products and advertiser sites.

The free subscription is available by subscribing on the left panel of this page - just click Read Online Now.

Leaders in the industry applaud “Diabetes Health Digital Advantage™” as one of the more innovative and creative resources available and commend it for its user-friendly convenience.

RSS Feeds

On the new DiabetesHealth.com we have integrated RSS feeds into all content rooms (see the navigation panel on the left of this page). For more of an explanation on RSS feeds and how they work check out the RSS page on Wikepedia.

If you subscribe to Diabetes Health RSS feeds you can be alerted whenever new content is posted on DiabetesHeath.com. You can subscribe to top headlines or - if you are interested in specific content areas (e.g. Type 1, or hypoglycemia) - you can subscribe to that specific room. Simply click the RSS icon () in the room that you’re most interested in.

RSS feeds can be integrated into all popular browsers on both Macs and PCs. Mac OSX and Windows Vista also have built in RSS integration (widgets and gadgets).

Diabetes Health TV is Born

We’re also very excited about Diabetes Health TV. The emergence of video on the internet is in full swing, and we want to do our part to explore this exciting medium.

Simply click the TV icon on this page, or if you are anywhere in the site go to Diabetes Health TV under ‘Newsrooms’ on the left navigation panel.

There you can watch product demos and interviews with celebrities with diabetes, industry experts, researchers, and more. You can also rate videos and add your comments.

In addition…

This is where you come in … we want to make you a star!

We know that everyone has a story to tell. We will be looking for “field reporters” to submit their own experiences in video format that we’ll post online.

We’d love for friends of Diabetes Health to be able to document and share their own experiences living with Diabetes.
