“We are thrilled to be working with DiabetesSisters again this year. It’s an honor to kick-off such a dynamic conference that impacts so many people with diabetes,” said Cherise Shockley, the creator of DSMA. “This is an opportunity for us to partner with DiabetesSisters on our common missions of bring people together to talk about diabetes and support one another as we live with this chronic disease.”

Previously held in North Carolina and California, this will be the first year for DiabetesSisters to present the Weekend for Women Conference in the Washington, DC area. Open to all women with diabetes (pre-diabetes, type 1, type 2, LADA, gestational), the goal of the event is to educate, inspire and transform women's views of diabetes so they can live full, happy lives with the disease.

Participants will enjoy three days full of educational sessions in four areas of focus including: emotional and social wellbeing; health and nutrition; tools and technology; and exercise and physical fitness. The presentations will be given by many well-known advocates from the diabetes community and leading experts like Claudia Graham, MPH, PhD; Rhonda Merwin, PhD; Diana Naranjo, PhD; Susan Weiner, RD, MS, CDE, CDN; Ginger Vieira, and Kerri Sparling. A detailed agenda can be found at: http://www.diabetessisters.org/2014dc.

Registration for the Weekend for Women Conference is $200. Attendees can secure their spot with a $75 non-refundable deposit and have the option of raising the remaining $125 balance.

Partners (spouses, significant others) of women with diabetes are also encouraged to participate in a unique program created specifically for partners of women with diabetes. The Partners Perspective program will take place in the same hotel and provides partners a forum to better understand the physical and mental challenges they face daily. Through networking and information sessions, partners gain a better understanding of how to better support their partner in managing diabetes. Registration for the Partner’s Perspective program is $75.

In addition to the Conference in Washington DC, DiabetesSisters will also present the Weekend for Women Conference and the Partner’s Perspective Program in Chicago, IL on August 22-24 and Los Angeles, CA on October 24-26.

Sanofi is the National Premier Sponsor of the 2014 Weekend for Women Conference Series. Additional conference sponsors are Novo Nordisk, Tandem, and Dexcom.
