DiabetesSisters Weekend.
I wanted to do my part to help get the word out about the DiabetesSisters weekend that's taking place this coming May 22nd and 23rd in Raleigh, North Carolina. Here are the details:
The First Annual Weekend for Women Conference hosted by DiabetesSisters and TCOYD will begin at 5pm on Saturday, May 22nd (immediately following the TCOYD Conference) in Raleigh, North Carolina and end at 6pm on Sunday, May 23rd. The Weekend for Women Conference will take place at Marriott City Center in downtwn Raleigh, North Carolina.
I love diabetes conferences, and in particular, ones that recognize the different needs of different segments of the diabetes populations. Women with diabetes come head-to-head with some very unique diabetes-related issues, from periods to pregnancy to emotional hurdles, and having a weekend just for "us" sounds awesome.
I wish this was an event I was able to attend, but I'll hopefully be spending the first few weeks of May adjusting to life with my daughter (!). If you are going to be in the NC area for that weekend, check out the DiabetesSisters Weekend for Women Conference!

What is the TCOYD? When I told my hubby it has something to do with diabetes, he said it must be The Carbohydrates of Your Donuts. :P The women's conference sounds wonderful. Something to look forward to... :)

This is frustrating. These are all the topics that my boyfriend wants to learn about and it's only for women. We live practically in Raleigh and I am friends with one of the planners, but probably won't go because I don't want to learn all about pregnancy by myself and then try to teach it to him. I'd rather learn it together the first time.
