Battling Diabetes

Not long ago I blogged about The Big Book of Diabetic Desserts, written by Jackie Mills MS, RD. This month I am giving away a copy to one Battling The Monster reader. I was given two books, one for myself and one just for this contest!

So, you may be wondering how you can win this copy. It is very easy, really. If you have a blog, whether it is diabetes related or not, just post an entry about this contest then comment here. If you do not have a blog, just post about this contest either A.) In a forum you frequent and leave a link to it here (your signature counts) or B.) Post about it on one of your social accounts like Myspace, Twitter, or Facebook.
