Support from Readers Like You...
Diabetic Gourmet Magazine is an online magazine dedicated to providing news, articles, recipes, interactive forums, free dispatches and newsletters, reviews, resources -- and so much more -- to people living with diabetes. This includes diabetics, caregivers, family members, cooks, educators, camp counselors -- everyone who is touched by diabetes in one way or another.
Diabetic Gourmet Magazine is provided absolutely FREE -- and we have no plans to start charging for access now. Restricting access to people without the means to pay a fee, no matter how small the fee is, does not sit well with us. Never has, never will.
What can you do to help keep this online magazine going strong? For one thing, you can take an interest in our sponsors. Visit their websites. Click on their ads. Request their catalogs. Check out their products and/or services. If you see something you like, then throw your business their way and let them know you saw them in Diabetic Gourmet Magazine. Their advertising messages can be seen in our email dispatches and throughout our magazine in the form of text ads, listings, various banner ads and buttons.
Here's an even better way to help -- order our cookbook! While we are grateful for the generous support of our sponsors, the fact of the matter is that we need the help of readers as well. If you enjoy our free publications and are looking for a way to say "thanks," then please consider ordering our cookbook from Amazon.com. At only $11.53, you'll save 32% off the already super-affordable $16.95 cover price, you'll be getting a great cookbook, and you'll be helping to support all of the publications and dispatches we've been providing for free over the past several years. Your purchase will also help convince our publisher to release follow-up cookbooks!
Don't want to order our cookbook online? Not a problem. Just call your local bookstore and ask them if they have "The Diabetic Gourmet Cookbook" (Wiley & Sons, 2004) in stock. It's in bookstores nationally, including stores like Barnes & Noble, Powell's Books, Waldenbooks, and Borders, and can easily be ordered by ANY bookstore no matter how small or remote.
For more information about The Diabetic Gourmet Cookbook, including a sample listing of recipes and a preview of the entire first chapter, you can visit "The Diabetic Gourmet Cookbook" website or order it right now from an online retailer below:
What else can you do? Here are a few things that come to mind: hold the door open for someone; donate a few bucks to a good cause; smile more often; play with your dog every day and take him/her for an actual walk; support organic farmers; go for a walk with a friend or family member; participate in a walk-a-thon for diabetes, cancer, or some other worthy cause; recycle your plastics, glass, and papers; buy lemonade from a kid's lemonade stand; plant a tree; make a donation to a local animal shelter (blankets, newspapers, dog/cat food, dog cookies, money); attend a free diabetes/health seminar at a local health facility; be an all-around nice person (it's contagious); get your blood pressure checked; don't litter; donate blood if you can; donate your magazines to your local library after you read them; call an old friend or relative -or- send them a hand-written letter; recommend our website to friends and colleagues; link to our website from your own personal or business website; put a link to our website in the signature of your email messages; remember to say thank you; fill out a customer feedback card to compliment an employee that did a good job or was courteous (most people only fill out comment cards to complain, which is a shame).
Thank you for visiting and for your interest in learning how you can help support our free publications. We sincerely appreciate the efforts of everyone who takes part in making this magazine such a special resource for so many.
