2nd Annual Expert Forum Benefits TCOYD

On June 8, the second annual diabetes forum to benefit Taking Control of Your Diabetes took place at the ADA's 68th Annual Scientific Sessions in San Francisco. Moderated by Kelly Close of Close Concerns, the event featured an esteemed panel of experts from across the country discussing the hottest developments in diabetes research and treatments. The panelists included Dr. Steven Edelman, Dr. Wayman Wendell Cheatham, Dr. James R. Gavin III, Dr. Robert Henry, Dr. Anne Peters, and Dr. Eugene Wright. Two hours flew past as the panel responded to questions from Kelly and the audience over a slew of topics in diabetes including: incretin mimetics (see page 9); DPP4 inhibitors, continuous glucose monitoring, patch pumps and new insulin delivery methods, and compounds in basic and clinical research. The event raised over $15,000 for TCOYD's patient education programs. TCOYD is so appreciative of Kelly Close and her team for their tremendous help with the event, and all the people who came out to support TCOYD in San Francisco.
