Top notch educational magazine, January 24, 2006
I really like this magazine. They balance educational articles, recipes, and lifestyle articles so well. Sometimes in reading similar articles they are often filled with advertisements that swallow the articles. This magazine balances everything so well.
This magazine often features educational articles about new treatments and new medicines. I like that they are less biased than what you would see in a pharmacutical publication. Recipes are simple, and very tasty. I also like that they give many different lifestyle suggestions for dealing with diabetes.
I feel this publication does well with the treatment of pre-diabetes, type I, and type II, very well. It offers a balance of articles that all patients should be able to walk away with quality information. I would encourage people to try this magazine if they are dealing with this disease, or if your family deals with this disease. It simply does an exceptional job of going over treatments and changes in lifestyle that you can make. Diabetes is a serious disease, and being educated about the condition ensures that you give yourself better care.

Diabetes Forecast Shows Diabetics How to Win the Fight , October 10, 2007
Diabetes forecast is a widely- read magazine that caters to those who suffer from this annoying disease. Distributed by the American Diabetes Association, this publication contains all sorts of advice and official information on ways to cope with diabetes, lessen its effects, and get the most out of life.
I am not diabetic myself, but I still pick up and read this magazine on occasion. I like to find out about the progress toward finding cures and other medical research and Diabetes Forecast excels in these areas. It discusses medical breakthroughs, legislation, drugs, etc., that could be important to diabetic sufferers and the families that support them. I like these news articles best because the search for a cure is the most important diabetic concern to me. I have seen too many people suffer from diabetes and struggle to live a normal life. I like reading the legal sections and other departments most because it is here that I get the greatest sense of satisfaction; knowing that progress toward a cure is being made, even though it is far slower than most would prefer.
When Diabetes Forecast isn't talking about cures and legal issues, it is offering advice. The advice can be anything from proper diet to insulin usage to better exercise. The advice offered in this magazine is intended for diabetics, but much of it can apply to anyone. The articles on physical fitness, for example, are useful to all. The recipes can also be beneficial to anyone since they feature great- tasting food dishes that would be acceptable to any person who appreciates good eating.
Diabetes Forecast offers a pleasant surprise to many readers: It is a very optimistic publication. This may come as a surprise to those who have never read this magazine. I admit, when I first heard about this magazine, I assumed it would contain sad, tragic stories of loss and general ill health. However, the magazine maintains a very optimistic edge. The people who share their personal stories in this magazine are determined to win the battle against diabetes. They do not intend to let it stand in the way of reaching important goals. They are bound and determined to beat this disease.
Overall, Diabetes Forecast is a very nice magazine that offers some sound advice on coping with the issues surrounding diabetes, along with official information on government legislation and the search for a cure. Diabetes is an annoying disease, but like the contributors to this magazine will attest, diabetes doesn't have to control your life. You can still be in charge and live life to the fullest with a little preparation and precautionary measures.

Diabetes Forecast, September 28, 2005
This magazine is helpful for coping with diabetes. New treatments, medications, and diabetic products are reported on and rated. I especially like motivational type articles that help get me off my duff and get moving. Recipes are also included; many of which are simple and delicious. It's a bright and diabetic savvy magazine that can be helpful to anyone with diabetes.
