Diabetes Discovery Week
The third week of March has been designated Diabetes Discovery Week, a "wake-up" call for all Mississippians. The week’s objectives are to raise awareness of those who are most at risk for developing the disease and identify those who unknowingly live with the chronic disease. Our "Wake Up, Mississippi!" brochure provides answers to such questions:
- What is diabetes?
- What are the warning signs of diabetes?
- Who is at risk?
- What problems does diabetes cause?
- How many people have diabetes?
- How do I find out if I have diabetes?
- Is there a cure for diabetes?
- AACE guidelines for people with diabetes
- A questionnaire to determine if you are risk for diabetes
- At-risk Body Mass Index Chart
