How can I found out about events that might be held in my local area?

I think it depends on what type of "event" you are seeking. Good resources to check are the ADA and JDRF for events they may be sponsoring in your area. Others, such as the Insulin-Pumpers support group may have local pump support groups, and another good resource is to check with your endocrinologist or CDE, as they may also know of diabetes-related events going on in your area.
