Pompano Beach, FL (PRWEB) October 14, 2008 -- American Diabetes Wholesale, a discount retailer of diabetic supplies (http://www.AmericanDiabetesWholesale.com), donated $10,000 in diabetic supplies to support Andy Mandell ("Mr. Diabetes®") and his effort to increase awareness about diabetes through the Defeat Diabetes Foundation.

"We are very pleased to receive the free diabetic supplies from American Diabetes Wholesale," said Andy Mandell, Mr. Diabetes® and Executive Director of Defeat Diabetes Foundation.

"It was a very easy decision to donate the diabetic supplies to Andy and his organization," said Chris Maguire, co-founder of American Diabetes Wholesale. Mr. Maguire added, "We admire Mr. Diabetes® and his tireless effort and programs that have helped increase awareness about pre-diabetes, prevention and diabetes self management."
