See What Our Past Attendees Had to say about ONE Conference & Retreat!
The doctors running this event were fun, energetic and easy to understand. They were engaging and talked about interesting topics. They are on the cutting edge of science.
This is the only time of year that I’m normal as a person with diabetes, an insulin pump, and a CGM
Having great endos as presenters (some with Type 1) is so valuable. I felt seen and understood in a way that I don’t know if I’ve ever felt
So helpful to understand what our daughter goes through daily and how to help and when to hush!!
I didn’t come away with any new BFFs but just being in the presence of others who share my struggles… was absolutely life-changing
