Honolulu & Kona TCOYD Conference Participants Speak Out

This is what our Hawaii participants had to say about our February 2007 TCOYD Conference & Health Fair:

Fantastic speakers that gave great insight into cultural-familial views that encouraged and prompted inner thought questions.

LOVED Panoke's passionate, spiritual talk with the simple message that YOU CAN DO IT!

Dr. Edelman gave a superb, informative, humorous presentation, better than I've ever attended.

How many "pounds of cure" is this conference worth to a diabetic? Tons!

Last year my husband had an A1C over 13 and your conference last year "scared him straight" and now he has gotten his A1C down to 7.

So much information presented from different angles and levels. Answers to questions I hadn't thought about before.

Very good speakers that offer real life struggles and successes.

It taught me how to eat lunch. I have been eating too much before and was pleasantly satisfied and full with the smaller, balanced, portions.

TCOYD did a wonderful job of informing us while keeping the materials fun. Hearing about horizon meds and treatments gives me hope for more convenient control.

I'm not coordinated and never thought I was one to exercise but I am now interested in taking up Tai Chi

It was great seeing all of these activities - you never know what will catch your fancy.

Loved the action areas in the Heath Fair.

TCOYD gives me EMPOWERMENT!

Each time I come it is like a new experience. It keeps me updated on the new developments in diabetes care.

I was very moved by Father's Wish and am inspired by the changes Mr. Panoke made.

I did one of the Tai Chi sessions and I am now going to enroll in classes.

From today on I know how to control my diet. Before I did not know what kind of food was good for me. Now I know and can make changes.

Novo Nordisk had excellent patient educational reading materials.

I'm going to consult my doctor to get me on board with a lot of the things I saw in the Heath Fair.

Eddie Sherman spoke as if he was talking to me. Very inspirational.

Dr. Edelman never fails to inform and entertain at the same time.

KONA

Dr. Edelman makes understanding fun.

Mahalo! Terrific sessions.

This conferences guided me to better eating habits, continued twice daily testings and maintaining medications.

The companies that attended were very informative and friendly.

I have recently been diagnosed with diabetes. This conference has given me the skills to manage my disease.

Dr. Edelman's information is non-judgmental, guilt-free. His encouragement is priceless.
