SUMMARY: American Diabetes Month addresses the health issue affecting millions of Americans and its potential to cause serious health complications. Joining the discussion is Dr. Ellen Caswell, a criminologist at Memorial Health System, who emphasizes the importance of lifestyles in managing and preventing diabetes, particularly Type 2. Mississippi has a high number of diabetes cases, often linked to lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise. Dr. Caswell explains that while Type 1 diabetes is largely genetic and insulin-dependent, Type 2 can often be managed or delayed by lifestyle changes. Symptoms like increased thirst, frequent urination, and unexplained weight loss indicate the need to consult a doctor. Treatments have improved significantly, especially for those requiring insulin.
