My hat's off to Brandy Barnes, founder of DiabetesSisters, for putting together "Weekend for Women," the first event solely for women with diabetes -- and selling out. Bravo! TCOYD (Taking Care of Your Diabetes) partners with DiabetesSisters to bring this dynamite-sounding weekend to us at an incredibly affordable price. You can still add yourself to the wait-list should a spot open, or send an email to info@diabetessisters.org to receive information about their next conference.
"Weekend for Women" is an educational event on topics strictly of interest to us girls, such as pregnancy, body image, new equipment and medication, nutrition and mental and spiritual health. The conference begins on May 22nd, a Saturday evening, with dinner and a relaxation treatment and Sunday features speakers like exercise physiologist, Sheri Colberg, and women sharing their inspiring success stories of living with diabetes.
So, while I've been luxuriating in not heading to the airport since returning from the U.K. a few weeks ago, I am really looking forward to heading for the airport for this and spending time with my diabetes sisters in Raleigh shortly.
