Taking Control of Your Diabetes (TCOYD) is a nonprofit organization founded by Steven Edelman, an endocrinologist with Type 1 diabetes, in 1995 to “educate and motivate people with diabetes to take a more active role in their condition.” The group has a number of initiatives, including its online reality series Extreme Diabetes Makeover; its recurring video series, “The Edelman Report”; and its national conferences and health fairs.
The conventions feature lectures from well-known speakers, health screenings, the opportunity to speak with diabetes specialists, exhibits from diabetes-related companies and organizations, and a healthful banquet lunch.
The Overland Park conference has both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes tracks. The Type 1 program includes presentations on topics such as “Treatments for Type 1 Other Than Insulin,” “Thyroid and Other Autoimmune Disease,” and “Advanced CGM and Pumping.” The Type 2 program includes presentations on topics such as “Do You Know Your ABCs: A1C, Blood Pressure, and Cholesterol,” “Lighten Up Your Plate With Chef Lewis,” and “An In-Depth Look at Type 2 Treatments, Including Insulin Options.”

Edelman is an Afrezza supporter, and he will probably mention it, but where is there any mention of any actual Mannkind reps attending?
Just seeking clarification ...

Otherwise, again, where is there any mention of any actual Mannkind reps attending? |

Having attended the event on Saturday and staying for the entire event. I have a better view of the entire diabetes market place. I learned that I am a Type 3 diabetic. Yes Type 3. That is a person who knows or worries about a person who is a diabetic.
First and foremost Dr. Steven Edelman and his TCOYD group is the real deal. Meeting him in person and chatting with him you learn about his passion for helping diabetics.
I have validated the effectiveness of the product by attending the TCOYD event yesterday in Kansas City. I saw how it was receive by diabetics. I personally asked Dr. Steven Edelman about Afrezza and he pulled his Techsphere out of his pocket and said he loved Afrezza and his Partner Dr. Jeremy Pettus did too. During his presentation he presented all diabetes medicines since his group represents the entire spectrum. But his eyes gleamed when talking one on one with me about afrezza.
You can see Dr. Edelman believes He was glad to pose with Rich Herrera with both of them holding their Technosphere. He again posed at the MannKind booth.
In the vendor arena I watched folks coming buy the MannKind booth. They were excited. Seems that many of the Type 2 folks didn't even know about Afrezza. Hopefully Mannagement will focus future resources towards type 2. There was a Chef there with a Both and we were chatting about Afrezza and the MannKind rep showed him the On Drop Chrome testing kit and he said Wow! That was exciting and he wanted to go buy one immediately. His view also was that Afrezza will be a winner because of younger people like new technology that Afrezza and One drop brings to the market.
There were 4 MannKind representatives there The local KC Rep, one from Omaha and Anthony (Duck Fiabetes) Hightower, Cynthia Rogers-Celt. We should be proud in the way that all four of them represent MannKind. They are passionate about the work they do.
I watched from a distance how the interacted with folks stopping in at the booth and you could watch how attendees were smiling and picking up the sample Inhalers and materials to take home to read.
Rick Herrera was there too. He was telling his story to people who wanted to know about using Afrezza. Rick has been using Afrezza for almost two years. He is a type 2. His A1C continues to drop. Last Thursday evening he was invited to be a guess speaker at a KC area JDRF event where many of the attendees were very appreciative and greatful to hear Rick's Afrezza story.
If TCOYD is in your city take a chance and invest a day to learn more about the entire diabetes market. It will give you a better understanding of the clutter of products on the market and why Endo and HCP are slow to adapt to a new product like Afrezza. I sat in on a couple of sessions. One was about HCP professionals / patients and how they relate or hear each other. It was a very good session that was conducted by Dr. Edelman and Dr. Polansky. One gets the understanding how difficult it is to make changes in a regiment of treatment whether or not its working.
