FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SAGE Publications announces agreement with the American Association of
Diabetes Educators to publish The Diabetes Educator

Thousand Oaks, CA, USA and London, United Kingdom (November 4, 2004) -
SAGE Publications is pleased to announce a new publishing agreement with
the Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) to publish its journal, The
Diabetes Educator (TDE). The journal will be published by SAGE starting in
January 2005.

TDE is an ISI-ranked, peer-reviewed journal intended to serve as a
reference source for the science and art of diabetes management. The
journal publishes original articles that relate to aspects of patient care
and education, clinical practice and/or research, and the
multidisciplinary pro-fession of diabetes education as represented by
nurses, dietitians, physicians, pharmacists, mental health professionals,
podiatrists, and exercise physiologists.

"The AADE is pleased to announce the selection of SAGE Publications as the
new publisher of The Diabetes Educator," stated Chris Laxton, Executive
Director of the AADE. "The review committee did an extensive evaluation of
numerous publishers. The key criteria included publishing experience,
healthcare background, editorial support and staffing along with other
measures. SAGE scored at the top in all categories. As a full-service
publisher with numerous healthcare clients, they offer the AADE a strong
set of competencies and are an ideal fit for us. The AADE is extremely
excited about the potential with our new publishing partner."

This signifies a new future for The Diabetes Educator as it will now be
available electronically online for the first time via SAGE Journals
Online, the new online journal delivery platform recently launched by SAGE
and developed by the renowned HighWire Press.

"We at Sage entertain the highest regard for the American Association of
Diabetes Educators and its goal of educating the public in diabetes
self-management and prevention.  We look forward to collaborating with the
AADE in the publication of The Diabetes Educator and to putting our
renowned marketing and production expertise at the service of this
excellent journal," commented Alison Mudditt, Executive Vice President of
SAGE's Higher Education Group. "Through SAGE's participation in the
HighWire Press community of related e-content, we believe The Diabetes
Educator will expand its online visibility to a broad range of readers,
thereby contributing most effectively to the AADE mission."

Starting in January 2005, the TDE website will be located at
http://tde.sagepub.com. The journal will be available electronically in
HTML and PDF formats.
