  • The MIND diet, which is plant-based and anti-inflammatory, is being studied for its potential to improve sleep quality and manage cardiovascular issues in women with type 2 diabetes and insomnia.
  • The study involves 44 overweight/obese women aged 30-65 who will follow either a MIND low-calorie diet or a standard low-calorie diet for three months, with health assessments before and after the trial.
  • Researchers aim to explore the effectiveness of the MIND diet in managing complications of type 2 diabetes, expecting to highlight how specific dietary changes can aid in treating insomnia and cardiovascular problems.

Article Abstract

Background: The Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet is a plant-based and anti-inflammatory diet that has the ability to protect and manage cardiovascular and nervous system diseases. Regarding that insomnia and cardiovascular problems are x`common in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), the present study will assess the effectiveness of the MIND dietary pattern on sleep quality, cardiometabolic indicators, and other psychological indicators.

Methods: Forty-four overweight/obese T2DM women with insomnia, aged 30-65 years, will voluntarily participate in this randomized controlled trial and will be randomized to receive either a MIND low-calorie diet (MLCD) or a low-calorie diet (LCD) over a 3-month period. Before and after the study, sleep quality, some biochemical and cardiometabolic indices, cortisol, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and oxidative stress indicators will be assessed.

Discussion: The use of dietary interventions in the management of T2DM complications is practical and safe. This research seeks to investigate the capacity of the MIND diet in the management of insomnia and cardiovascular problems of DM. It is expected that the results of this research will provide new perspectives on using an ideal dietary regimen to treat these health conditions.

This stress, known as diabetes distress, along with health empowerment from proper diet and lifestyle, and motivation to eat healthily, greatly impacts quality of life and disease outcomes. Different patient subgroups (type 1 diabetic (T1DM), type 2 diabetic (T2DM), and insulin resistant (IR) individuals) face these challenges differently.

We recently reported factors leading to different severity of ruminal pH drop in primiparous cows fed the same diet during transition and early lactation. The present study evaluates the effects of those severities on performance and several blood and balance parameters in the same 24 primiparous cows from 3 wk before calving until wk 10 in lactation.
