San Francisco CA– March 31, 2015 – Nadia Al-Samarrie, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of the essential resource for those living with diabetes, Diabetes Health Magazine, recently posted a new article on her website entitled, “Diabetes Health Nominated for 5 Prestigious Awards.”

Al-Samarrie writes, “I am honored to be in the same category as Yoga Journal and look forward to being at the awards among some very talented creative contemporaries. The nomination in itself is a prestigious award and I thank the judges that support Diabetes Health’s patient advocate magazines. By recognizing Diabetes Health, they bring light to a wider audience and support our mission to inform and inspire those living with diabetes.”

The Diabetes Health nominations include one for the Best Digital Edition as well as the Best Video Channel. As Al-Samarrie states, “Diabetes Health serves the diabetes population in every available format.”

With a growing number of people being diagnosed with diabetes, according to Al-Samarrie, “Diabeteshealth.com is the go-to resource for everything related to diabetes.” She acknowledges, “There is always something for everyone either interested in or living with a new or ongoing diagnosis of diabetes. For instance, I recently re-introduced my “Ask Nadia” column for those who have questions about the social aspects of living with diabetes. I personally answer questions and am accessible to patients living with this disease.”

In terms of nominations and awards, Al-Samarrie says, “This is not our first year being nominated by either wegohealth.com or the Western Publishers Association. In 2003 and 2013, Diabetes Health was nominated for “Best in Health by the Western Publisher’s Association, and in 2014, they nominated Diabetes Health Pharmacist for “Best in Trade.” Wegohealth.com also nominated me for a “Lifetime Achievement” award in 2014.”
