TCOYD Conferences—a Full Day of Diabetes Management Information and Empowerment

TCOYD holds conferences and health fairs in cities across the nation each year. These events bring together thousands of people with diabetes, those at risk for diabetes, as well as their loved ones. There, national and local medical professionals and others share their expertise related to living with the disease. The conferences make for a day of highly informative and motivational programs.

Attendees make their choices from multiple topics. They can also take advantage of one-on-one discussions with professionals—from podiatrists to psychologists to nutrition experts.

Throughout the sessions, TCOYD attendees receive unbiased information on topics such as:

  • The latest clinical research
  • New equipment and medications
  • Proper diet and exercise
  • Legal and insurance issues
  • Resources that are available to people with diabetes and their families

Participants also hear a keynote speaker, a model of living well with diabetes. The speaker’s personal accounts are often moving and highly inspirational.

TCOYD health fairs, which run in tandem with the conferences, include informational booths. Attendees can talk directly with

  • Manufacturers of diabetes medications and supplies
  • Providers of services and programs available for people with diabetes in their local communities

The Biggest Loser’s Kim Lyons will also speak at TCOYD conferences this fall. Kim Lyons will appear in Milwaukee, Santa Clara, San Diego, and Albuquerque to share important information about Diabetic Nerve Pain with conference attendees.
