Learn how to prevent complications before they happen and detect them early so that you can institute aggressive therapy to prevent their progression to the end stage! Did you know that many people living with diabetes are actually outliving those who don’t even have this disease? Follow along and learn how to become a DIABETES SURVIVOR!
And yes…TCOYD loves the irony of airing this virtual conference on Day of the Dead…something that, thanks to new and improved diabetes treatments, you don’t have to be a statistic!
CONFERENCE AGENDA: Your Path to Better Diabetes Management and Prevention of Complications
When it comes to complications, we are all blood brothers! (Type 1s and Type 2s!). Eye, kidney, nerve, and heart complications are preventable! Learn how to prevent, detect early, and treat the most common diabetes complications.
Diabetes Health Fair Exhibits & Networking
8AM – 12PM (PT)
Our online event invites you to visit our health fair exhibit hall, which includes representatives from our most trusted companies! Participate in live Q&A with representatives by asking questions about your diabetes technology, medication, access, insurance, and much more!
Type 1 and Type 2 Informative Session
9:00 – 9:50AM (PT)
Diabetes is not the enemy; the complications pose the real threat. We created sessions focused on the proactive steps to prevent and treat complications such as eye, kidney, nerve, and heart issues. Early intervention and aggressive management are crucial in preventing these conditions from reaching end-stage severity. Learn about both time-tested and most recent strategies, including the role of medications like GLP-1 and SGLT-2 inhibitors in maintaining a healthy and happy life. No matter your Type—Type 1 or Type 2—we’re all in this together, united in our fight for a healthier, longer life.
