Weekend for Women Conference 2011:
A Celebration of Strength — October 7-9
In 2011, the Behavioral Diabetes Institute and DiabetesSisters partnered to blend their own special events, the Celebration of Strength Luncheon and the Weekend for Women to bring a unique, life-changing learning experience to women with diabetes.
Quotes from Women at the Conference

“The aspect of the conference that affected me the most was meeting other women and sharing struggles and insights.”
“Meeting and learning from the different speakers… Meeting other Women that are just like me and having to deal with their Diabetes.”
“For 37 years I thought I was the only one who had these issues around food. I feel so normal now!”
“I have been in denial about my diabetes for years, well, decades; I now feel like I am finally ready to take it on and know what to start with.”
“...presentations were validations of what I feel and struggle with and then solutions were offered and knowledge to help me live better... I learned what I needed to learn... I feel like a burden has been lifted.”
