The Diabetic Connect Newsletter

Good morning everyone. I have been working on this week's Diabetic Connect Newsletter. Our team here tries hard to pull together information that will be helpful to you. It might be something you missed. It might be a hot discussion topic that you want to weigh in on. Or the latest recipe that has been added.
I was wondering if you all could give me some feedback about the newsletter.
Do you receive it?
Is it helpful to you?
What would you like it to include?
What don't you like about it?
Please weigh in and let me know what you think of it. We'd like to make it the best newsletter out there.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you'd like to receive the email, please add members@alliancehealth.com
and Customerservice@alliancehealth.messages2.com to your address book. That will help us with some of the blocking issues we've had.
Also, if you haven't been receiving the newsletter, please send me your email address to my inbox. I will double check it against our email list to make sure you're on the list to receive it.
Thanks everyone for the feedback. Anyone have additional suggestions for improving the newsletter?

Check out what I did today and then laugh your head off I did when I stoped to realize what I forgot to check today and all the salads I've eaten. I post everyday or atleast the next morning for the nite before if I don't get it done on time, under Exercise and Diet #2 now we also have #1 on here to keep track of how we are doing. Between the heat today and the salads I almost live in the bathroom today. Getting cleaned out that is for sure. I wonder how much weight I'll lose this way. LOL

GabbyPA October 11, 2008 at 3:30 pm0 LikesIt must be something in the air, because we are all enjoying great numbers. I also had my lowest ever reading today and have kept my numbers below 180 all day. Could it be karma??

teddybearcub1960 October 12, 2008 at 6:30 am0 LikesI know the feeling Edie, I have only been able to check one time a day the last two days also. Meals have been so messed up so haven't been able to check it after supper, since it's not been two hours after eating before going to bed. But my a.m. sugars have been 102 and 100 yeah.

Edie October 11, 2008 at 9:03 am0 LikesI've been getting the newsletter since I joined but not the inbox messages one then today I opened my inbox and had 2 there thankyou for fixing the problem. I was saving the oldest one so I could get back to the site quicker than going through all of my Bookmarks there is so many that I need to clean it up. LOL
I have a Discussion on Quilts under Other if you could let everyone know it is out there I would like that very much. Thankyou from your friend Edie -
vgarrison October 9, 2008 at 3:22 am0 LikesJohn,
Was there a place for us to sign up for this newsletter, or is every member supposed to recieve one?

John CrowleyCA October 9, 2008 at 3:57 am0 LikesEveryone who joins the site should automatically start getting the newsletter (of course with the option to opt-out anytime if you don't want it).

Anonymous October 9, 2008 at 4:07 am0 LikesI have never received it either. I do have Aol and will only have mail sent to AOL so I guess that means I will never get it. Since there are problems with AOL.

ON a seperate note-I used to get notification e-mails and have not had any since last week…I did check my settings and they are still checked?????
just and fyi -
John CrowleyCA October 10, 2008 at 2:35 am0 Likes
So, one thing to try is adding members@alliancehealth.com
to your address book. Then if the problem is that your email provider has been blocking our messages, they should start coming through again. -
momoftype1 October 12, 2008 at 5:28 am0 LikesI added it and am now getting the notifications again. I have not received the newsletter though, and I did get them before.

John-
I do usually get them, but have not seen one since 8-23. I still have the same e-mail and thought that it was one of the things being re-vamped.

AaronS October 8, 2008 at 5:01 am0 LikesI looked through my inbox; the last time a received the newsletter was June 16.
Have you changed the address you send it from - I would have marked this address as safe to receive from.
I don't keep information in my spam folder for long but I haven't noticed anything in there from Alliance Health.
By any chance, was June 16 around the time you added the options for the type of emails received?

Clearly, we have issues. If this group that represents some of our most active users, isn't receiving the newsletter, I've got some work to do on our system.
I'll try to figure out what is going on.

AaronS May 26, 2009 at 4:12 pm0 LikesJohn, I still haven't been receiving this newsletter. I haven't recevied it in almost a year (last one I received was June 2008).

Here's the address that should be in the safe sender's list: -

Oh, sure. After all my hard work :-)
Just kidding. I have no problem with honest feedback. It's the only useful kind.
As for those who don't receive it, I would ask you to do two things for me. First, check your "junk" or "bulk" mail folders. If you find it in there, you can hopefully mark it as "not junk" and you should start receiving it in your inbox.
Second, let me know who your email provider is. We are having some issues trying to send to AOL, Hotmail, and a few other email providers. If your email is one of those providers, we'll hopefully get those issues resolved soon.

kdroberts October 8, 2008 at 4:45 am0 LikesThe reasons I don't really read it are because I've usually read the the discussions listed or decided not to read them, I'm not a huge fan of 99% of the recipes that get posted and I'm not interested in the offers or advertisements. If there was a way to unsubscribe I probably would, I just haven't looked into it yet.

teddybearcub1960 October 8, 2008 at 3:39 am0 LikesI don't receive it either, but would love to get it, I'm sure it's felled with great information, that would help us all.

I don't receive it, at least not that I know of. I would like to see articles about how to get past this diagnosis emotionally-I just can't get past what has been done to me. Also practical solutions to losing weight while on insulin. Another problem getting rid of thhat lat 25 pounds. I eat right, exercise and still can't lose it. any information on adult-onset type 1. Keep up the good work. Carol
