TCOYD San Diego Mini-Series

The TCOYD Mini-Series is back for the 9th year!

If you live in San Diego, you have the ocean, the sun, year-round opportunity to be outdoors--AND the TCOYD San Diego Mini-Series! Here, in TCOYD's backyard, a team of medical professionals will once again volunteer their time and talents to provide a series of evening lectures for people with diabetes and their loved ones.

No matter what type of diabetes you or a loved one may have, the TCOYD Mini-Series lectures are bound to provide you with up-todate, practical information and tips on dealing with diabetes and its complications. Hosted by TCOYD's founder and director Steven V. Edelman, MD, Mini-Series topics cover an array of important issues as they relate to people with diabetes such as heart, kidney, tooth and gastrointestinal health, hormones, weight loss, supplements and alternative medicines.

Thanks once again to the generosity of Peter Preuss, we will be presenting the Mini- Series lectures at the Preuss School on UCSD's La Jolla campus. In addition to our volunteer speakers, this special program is also made possible by the companies, organizations, families and individuals who support TCOYD.

Help change lives. Bring a friend to the TCOYD San Diego Mini-Series. We are looking forward to another year with our loyal attendees and also meeting new people interested in Taking Control of Their Diabetes!
