Diabetes is one of the leading health problems in the state of Mississippi.

We live in a time where obesity

plays a great whole in adding to this. Though this disease is very serious, it is preventable and
manageable. There are two types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2. Those with type 1 diabetes require the
use of life long insulin and those with type 2 however can control this without insulin, if caught at a early
phase.
