The Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi Launches New
Children's Campaign

The Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi is promoting a new awareness campaign to assist in early diagnosis of diabetes in children. “You’re Never Too Young for Diabetes” aims to raise awareness of the warning signs of diabetes in children and to prevent primary diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in children via early diagnosis.

We invite you to become a partner and help our Mississippi children by helping us spread the word that children of any age can develop diabetes. Please learn the symptoms of diabetes in children and refer any child with symptoms of the disease for blood glucose and urinary ketone testing. Call the DFM for free posters and information for your child's school or doctor's office: 1-877-DFM-CURE.
