Health Alert: Poor Sleep Linked to Diabetic Neuropathy.
Diabetic neuropathy is a type of nerve damage caused by chronically high blood sugar levels, leading to symptoms such as numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness—most commonly in the feet and hands. A literature review found that poor sleep and diabetic neuropathy have a bidirectional relationship among individuals with diabetes. That is, diabetics with one condition are at increased risk for the other. The findings suggest that individuals with diabetes who report poor sleep or neuropathy symptoms should be screened for the other condition, as co-management may be necessary for optimal outcomes.

The findings suggest that a dietary pattern high in fruits, vegetables, nuts, fish, olive oil, and whole grains—while limiting red and processed meats, saturated fats, and refined sugars—may support bone health through its rich nutrient profile and anti-inflammatory effects.

Mental Attitude: Promoting Wellbeing May Be Key to Overcoming Childhood Trauma.
Among a group of nearly 900 adults who experienced one or more adverse childhood events—such as emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, and emotional and physical neglect—researchers found that two-thirds managed to maintain moderate-to-high mental wellbeing into adulthood. Further analysis found that those who overcame childhood trauma had healthier ways to manage stress, better regulated emotions, maintained social connections, and engaged in positive lifestyle habits like a nutrient-dense diet and regular exercise.
