About Scott King
Scott King, editor-in-chief of Diabetes Health magazine, has lived with type 1 diabetes for 30 years. While working as an insurance actuary, he used tables showing that diabetes shortens the lifespan of people with the disease. He and his business partner, Nadia Al-Samarrie, decided to do something about that. After starting a mail-order diabetes supply business in 1989, they realized that customers needed information as well as supplies. Soon “Diabetes on the Dial,” a radio show featuring interviews of world-class experts in the field of diabetes, was born. The demand for transcripts of the broadcasts was so high that before long, King and Al-Samarrie were publishing a monthly magazine, originally named Diabetes Interview.
Published continuously for 14 years, Diabetes Health magazine provides objective, sometimes controversial, but always balanced articles about living with diabetes. Consumers and medical professionals alike recognize the value of this niche magazine that treads where no other is willing to go. “Other magazines think people with diabetes can’t handle the facts, so they leave them out or oversimplify,” says King. “I find that people with diabetes want all the information they can get.” As editor-in-chief, Scott King has edited more than 4,000 articles about diabetes.
King is recognized as an expert on diabetes information. He has been quoted by The Wall Street Journal, Parade, U.S. News and World Report and Ann Landers. The magazine was a finalist in the 2004 Maggie publishing awards. An engaging speaker who “walks the talk,” King has addressed diabetes educators, Kaiser Permanente Hospital staff and patients. He has also been a speaker at the national Taking Control of Your Diabetes conference.
