Many Are Asking the Same Question:
Does anyone understand what it’s like to live with diabetes?
TCOYD Understands!
Taking Control Of Your Diabetes (TCOYD), a not for profit organization, has been
educating and motivating diabetes communities in cities around the country since
1995. We have assembled an all-star cast of diabetes experts for a day that will ignite
motivation, offer hope, and change your life with diabetes forever.
Our Founder’s Story
My name is Steve Edelman and I am the Founder of Taking Control Of Your Diabetes
(TCOYD). I was diagnosed with diabetes when I was 15 years old. I was told that
blindness, kidney failure and amputations were likely to occur after several years and that
my life expectancy wouldn’t exceed 20 years. That was not a prediction I was willing to
settle for, so I went into medicine to learn how to conquer this condition and help others
afflicted with it. I’m 58 now and although I do have some complications, I am living well
with diabetes. I have dedicated my medical career to educating and empowering others
with this disease so they can live long and healthy lives with diabetes.
