Listen up, everybody, because there’s lots of booty involved!
Today, I’m just giddy to be able to announce a contest in which everybody wins:
The DiabetesMine™ Holiday Survival Sweepstakes.
The whole idea is to share some of our best tips about surviving the holiday season with diabetes, have some fun, and share the freebie love! (I’m fortunate to receive lots of complementary D-products to review, so why shouldn’t you all benefit as well?) We have nearly 50 fabulous prizes to give away between now and Dec. 29, so read on to learn more.
Here’s How It Works (and check out all the cool prizes below!):
1) All you have to do is check in here regularly for the next 5 weeks. Each Tuesday we will pose a question to the community. You submit your answer (ie. contest entry) simply by posting your response in the comments section of the appropriate post. Each week, you’ll have until midnight of the following Sunday to submit your entries.
2) Every week, 7-8 lucky winners* will be selected by an esteemed panel of three D-bloggers: myself, Allison Blass of Lemonade Life, and Scott Johnson of Scott’s Diabetes Journal. {One prize per person per week; prize choices will be divvied up at random. A valid postal address is required to receive prizes.}
3) The weekly winners will then be entered into a drawing for three fantastic GRAND PRIZES:
- Two Fit4D.com Starter Memberships consisting of a full two months of complimentary personalized diabetes coaching customized to your goals and lifestyle — valued at $295 each. A bit about Fit4D™:
Fit4D provides personalized nutrition, fitness and wellness guidance to people with diabetes. Coaches integrate motivational support within programming delivered in both group and one-on-one individualized formats. The Fit4D coaching team, comprised of dieticians, exercise physiologists, nurses who are also certified diabetes educators (CDEs), focuses on empowering people with diabetes to live rich and fulfilling lives.
- And one WellAlarm™ Gold Vermeil Circle of Health Charm wit
h Two Free years of Platinum emergency medical notification service. Total retail value, $228.
Grand Prize winners will be announced on Dec. 29, 2008.

Making the Fun Last
Since we’re hoping to gather some great diabetes “wisdom of the crowds,” we want to capture your tips for lasting value. Allison therefore came up with the clever idea to compile all of the best tips from this contest and publish them in an e-book format. For that venture, we’d love some photo submissions to illustrate the e-book. Ideas and suggestions welcome! Just email me here.
And now to finally get down to business: this week’s competition. The question is…
Post your replies below, and you can win, win, win! Winners will be required to send their full mailing address and contact information so that vendors can ship prizes to them directly.
btw, multiple entries per question are OK, but each individual can only win for one entry per week. Please don’t be shy as we have loads of prizes to give out.
We’re very excited to hear YOUR DIABETES-HOLIDAY SURVIVAL TIPS.
Happy Sharing — and winning!
