Taking Control of Your Diabetes (TCOYD)

Taking Control of Your Diabetes (TCOYD)

Story:
Since 1995, Taking Control Of Your Diabetes has been transforming the way people from around the world live with diabetes by encouraging them to take a more active role in their condition through education, motivation, empowerment and humor.

The creation of TCOYD started out as a desire for more. Founder and Director Dr. Steve Edelman, a type 1 himself, wanted to bring diabetes education directly to those most affected by it, the people living with diabetes. He became an endocrinologist with the goal of providing education, motivation, and empowerment to help the diabetes community understand that people living with diabetes can live a happy, healthy life. He then joined forces with Sandra Bourdette, who at the time was a pharmaceutical rep, to bring the vision to life and to help launch the not-for-profit, Taking Control Of Your Diabetes.

Mission:
Guided by the belief that every person with diabetes has the right to live a healthy, happy, and productive life, Taking Control Of Your Diabetes educates and motivates people with diabetes to take a more active role in their condition and provides innovative and integrative continuing education to medical professionals caring for people with diabetes.

Vision:
For all people with diabetes and their loved ones to have full access to proper education and therapy to aid in the prevention, early detection and aggressive management of diabetes and its complications.
