​“There will be no shortage of sweets and treats this holiday season, and while it’s tempting to indulge ourselves, overdoing it can lead to long term damage for diabetics,” says Cheryl Robertson, a clinical dietitian with the Mercy Health – Springfield Weight Management program. “Sugar can increase inflammation, and inflammation causes heart disease. People that have diabetes are at a four-time higher risk of heart disease.”
 
Before you give up on going to holiday gatherings all together, know there’s hope. Many of our diabetic patients have found success navigating the season and keeping their health on track by using some of the below tips.

Tickets are available for individuals, couples, or full tables:

• Individual Ticket: $40
• Couples Ticket: $75
• Full Table of 8: $300
  
  

Proceeds from the evening will benefit the Monument Square District, helping fund local community initiatives and beautification efforts. Attendees can look forward to a night of revelry with friends and neighbors, all while supporting a fantastic cause that enhances the heart of Urbana.

Don’t miss this opportunity to dress up (optional Roaring 20's attire; prizes awarded for Best Dressed), kick back, and take part in an unforgettable evening of holiday magic and vintage charm.
