TCOYD conference (Taking Control Of Your Diabetics)
If you get a chance to attend I know you would find it a great
learning tool.
There were over 1000 people at this TCOYD conference.
We had Great speakers:

Diabetologist Steven V. Edelman
And Many Others
Representatives from many Pharmaceutical and Dialectic supply
companies were there with tons of Free stuff from Coupons for free
Meters to free pencils I ended up with 2 large bags full of stuff.
There were also Free Diabetic Eye Photos and feet screening.
Some of the Work shops
Carbohydrates
High Blood Pressure
Lifestyle change
Preserving your eye site
Truths and Myths about Insulin for Type 2
What to expect when you are hospitalized
Diabetes and Woman issues
and so many others I cannot remember
It lasted from 7.30 am until 5.30 PM
I was able to speak with 3 Reps from Byetta ( by the way they like to
read the Blog) and are interested in hearing form us.
It was interesting to note that in the evening session of 1000 people
we were asked how many were on Byetta and I would guess out of 1000
there were 10 who raised there hands
I would recomend this to anyone who has any intrest in learning more

This was the 2 one they have had and plan on having 1 every year.
My Doctor and Insurance company sent me the information on this but I
think you can sign up on the web site for emails.
