Full Version: Diabetes Self-Management Magazine

Is any one familiar with Diabetes Self-Management Magazine? My wife started receiving a free one year subscription, and it appears to be a pretty decent magazine. Just wondering if anyone else has any past experience with it - e.g.: if you actually take a paid subscription do you get inundated with promotional; offers and sale ads/email ads? Or is it a generally reputable magazine interested in providing help with no strings?

Thanks,

I use to get it but quit when I started now reading it when I started going to the Diabetes Support group and going to the study I'm in classes. It's a good magazine and if I wasn't learning the same things at the meetings I go to I would still be getting it. I don't remember getting any more unsolicited mailings that orginated from getting it sent to the house.

Angela,

Yes - I saw on their website they have a free newsletter, and I also saw that you can read part of the current issue of their magazine, but not the whole issue - e.g. if you want to see and read it all you have to subscribe. I am not sure if I want to subscribe, but I know when I have subscribed to some other magazines, I get tons of garbage mail and email offers (I know who sells what because I use a different middle initial for every magazine or online newsletter I subscribe to).

So I was wondering if subscribing to the magazine, or enrolling on the weekly online newsletter resulted in anyone getting a lot of promotional garbage and or online spam. I have more than enough already, and once it gets started it is soooo hard to get disconnected!

Thanks,

Hello Mark
No I did not get a other offers or junk mail but then again I dont As for the online I did not get spam but then I use a junk email for stuff I don't want to get emails from. Like a free google email.
They do sent a mailing out once in a while to renew but it just gos in the trash
