WESTPORT, Conn., Nov. 30, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- dLifeTV has expanded its reach through several key partnerships and is now seen in thousands of hospitals and doctor office waiting rooms reaching 15 million viewers per month. dLifeTV has partnered with The Health Media Network (HMN), The Patient Channel and Retirement Living TV (RLTV) to bring vital health programming to diabetes consumers.

dLifeTV's award-winning episodes include profiles of real people overcoming the challenges of living with diabetes, as well as interviews with celebrities like Nick Jonas to CBS news icon, Bob Schieffer.

"Through these partnerships, each bringing a unique distribution and viewing environment, dLifeTV will reach millions more with diabetes and their caregivers at the point of care. This is a great extension of our mission to empower every person with diabetes to take charge and manage their own condition. Getting engaged is the first step," said dLife CEO and founder, Howard Steinberg.
