Disclosures

This is a personal website maintained by Manny Hernandez. It does not accept any form of paid topic insertions. However, I will and do accept and keep free products, services, travel, event tickets, and other forms of compensation from companies and organizations, in addition to cash compensation as a result of consulting or speaking engagements.

I am not compensated to provide opinions on products, services, websites, and various other topics on this blog or any other website. The views and opinions expressed on this website are purely mine. I only endorse products or services that I believe, based on my experience, are worthy of such endorsement. Any product claim, statistic, quote, or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer or provider.

In spite of the fact that they do not dictate the content on my website or any other website where I write, I would like to disclose the following:

Paid Engagements

In the past 12 months, the only paid compensation I have not received any compensation for consulting.

Stock Ownership

I own stock in the following public companies within the diabetes space: Dexcom, Eli Lilly, and Mannkind.

Relevant Product Sponsorship

Until the end of 2014, I received free products and supplies from Animas (a Ping insulin pump with monthly supplies). In 2014, I also received a free DexCom G4 receiver, a starter kit, and a SHARE. Moving forward, any free product I receive that I write about on this blog, I will disclose it within the respective post.

All content on this blog and on other websites is not reviewed or approved by Animas, DexCom, or any other company that provides me with products or supplies as samples or on an ongoing basis. There isn’t anything posted or endorsed on this blog or written by me elsewhere that I don't fully believe in.

Furthermore, the products and supplies that I choose to continue to receive are entirely my personal choices and don't reflect in any way an endorsement of the product or the manufacturer by my employer.

Questions or concerns about this statement? Please contact me using the form on the home page.

Thanks to Kerri Sparling for her advice and for allowing me to borrow some of the language on her personal disclosures page.
