In order to ensure that you receive all issues of Diabetes In Control, please whitelist our email address so that it does not get blocked by spam (or junk mail) filters.
Since your ISP probably uses some type of spam filter we ask that you add us to your trusted list of senders, contacts and/or address book. (This process is known as "whitelisting.")
If you are not seeing emails from Diabetes In Control in your inbox, due to the overzealous filtering by ISPs, our emails may have mistakenly been sent to your spam folder.
Please open your Spam Folder and look for missing e-mails there first. If you find our newsletter there, open it and mark it as Not spam.
