iving with Diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic disease that can cause serious damage to almost every part of your body—the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, eyes, and nerves. It is the leading cause of blindness, kidney disease, and amputations. What is even more alarming is that more people are suffering from diabetes in the Mississippi Delta than almost anywhere else in the country.
