Our mission is simple—we save lives daily! The Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi (DFM) is the state's premier nonprofit health organization working to prevent diabetes and associated complications as well as work to improve the lives of every child, adult, and every family touched by type 1 or type 2 diabetes. We accomplish this through advocacy, education and patient assistance.

Join us at a Walk for Diabetes near you! Every dollar raised through registration and additional fundraising will allow us to continue in our mission to help save lives daily! Your support through these walks will directly fund the programs at the DFM, including backpacks to newly diagnosed children, patient assistance to those in desperate need of diabetes supplies, our Sweet Subject school education program, and Camp Kandu, the state's only camp for kids with diabetes and their families to learn about diabetes and grow in community!
