Diabetes rarely exists on its own — many people living with the condition also manage related health challenges that compound their care needs. Podimetrics surveyed 4,000 patients with diabetes, and over 65% reported experiencing complications at least occasionally.

August is National Wellness Month, and hydration might be the easiest win on the list.

For people living with diabetes, water does a lot of quiet, good work: it helps the body manage blood sugar more smoothly, keeps energy steady through the day, and supports skin health, which matters for feet especially. Well-hydrated skin is more resilient, one small habit that helps keep you moving comfortably.

A full glass of water is an easy place to start. It's a small habit with a real payoff.

Talk to your care team about how much water is right for you.

For someone with peripheral neuropathy, the most dangerous place isn't always outside. It's often home.

Numbness and reduced sensation in the feet make it harder to feel loose rugs, uneven flooring, or a stray object underfoot. Combine that with poor lighting, cluttered walkways, or stairs without handrails, and everyday spaces can quietly become fall risks. For older adults, a single fall can mean a fracture, a hospital stay, or a loss of independence that's hard to regain.

Many of these hazards are also some of the easiest to fix. Small changes to lighting, flooring, and layout can meaningfully lower the risk before an injury ever happens.

August is National Wellness Month, a reminder that rest is part of health, not a reward for it.

For many people living with diabetes, nights are not restful. Nerve damage in the feet and legs can cause burning, tingling, or aching that grows more noticeable after dark, when there are fewer distractions. The sleep that gets lost then makes the next day harder, and the CDC notes that consistently getting less than seven hours of sleep raises the risk of type 2 diabetes. The relationship runs both directions.

Nighttime foot pain is not something to simply endure. It is information worth acting on.

If pain or restlessness is affecting your sleep, bring it up with your foot care specialist or care team.

August is National Wellness Month, a time to recognize how small, consistent habits shape physical health and long-term well-being.

Physical wellness is often measured in movement. Walking after dinner, gardening, keeping up with grandchildren, staying independent at home. For people living with diabetes, all of that rests on foot health. Neuropathy can hide the early signs of injury, and a small problem can limit mobility long before it becomes painful.

Protecting mobility starts with protecting the feet that make it possible.

Health outcomes should not be determined by where someone lives or the resources available to them.

Research shows that individuals living in the poorest communities are significantly more likely to experience major diabetes related complications, highlighting the ongoing impact of health disparities and barriers to care.

This BIPOC Mental Health Month, we're recognizing the importance of addressing the social, economic, and systemic factors that influence health outcomes and working toward more equitable access to preventive care.

July is BIPOC Mental Health Month, a time to recognize how social, cultural, and systemic factors can shape mental health and overall well-being.

In our eBook, “Breaking Barriers”, we examine the connection between mental health, chronic disease management, and health equity. For many Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, experiences with bias, discrimination, and unequal access to care can create additional challenges that impact both physical and mental health.

Creating meaningful change starts with understanding these barriers and working toward more equitable, person-centered care.
