On November 15, Christie Clinic invites the community to participate in World Diabetes Day by attending the Diabetes Expo at Christie on Windsor, 1801 West Windsor Road, Champaign. The event, aimed at addressing issues that face the global diabetes community, will be held in the 2nd floor education room from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. The Expo will have local pharmaceutical vendors and free giveaways. Plus all your insulin pump questions will be answered.

Diabetic and A1C Champions Program Speaker Henry Bryan Jr. will be giving two presentations at the Expo on his own successes, challenges, and obstacles as a diabetic.  His talk, Taking Control, will be held at 9:30 a.m. and 12 p.m. in the alternative education room at the Expo. Taking Control is intended for patients who struggle with controlling diabetes as well as their families and friends. He will help educate and motivate those who suffer with the condition to live a healthy lifestyle. Each session is 60 minutes in length and includes a question and answer session. 

The goal of the Diabetes Expo is to raise awareness about this condition and provide diabetics access to educational materials and resources. If you have any questions, call Carole Murphy, Health Educator, at 217-366-8020.
