Introduction Antidiabetic drugs, reduction of carbohydrates intake, maintaining normal weight and physical activity are the cornerstone of diabetes 2 treatment.MethodsThis opinion article is not intended to challenge hundreds of studies unequivocally demonstrating the benefits of a healthy lifestyle including appropriate diet in controlling the consequences of T2DM. The article questions whether the benefits of dietary restrictions for the management of T2D in older adults who are already demented, are worth the potential detrimental effects on quality of life for the patients and their caregivers, as well as the effects of dietary restrictions on frailty, sarcopenia.DiscussionHowever, the benefit of dietary restrictions including carbohydrates restrictions, might not manifest in elderly Alzheimer and vascular dementia patients with type 2 diabetes. On the contrary, such restrictions might hinder the patients' and caregiver's quality of life and encumber attempts to maintain normal weight in a population which tends to be underweight. Therefore, the benefit/risk ratio of dietary restriction should be weighed in this population on an individual basis.

Virtual addiction is affecting a large number of children and their families nowadays. This phenomenon is associated with a notion that is closely related to self-esteem. This notion is called FoMo and represents the fear of being left out, of worthlessness and the idea that the life of others is better than one's own. At the same time, vulnerable people through these mechanisms find it difficult to find a way out of these situations on their own and often try to ask for help. The interdisciplinary approach of these two closely related and often interdependent phenomena allows the partial and sometimes total improvement of both habits together with the creation of new thinking patterns and new set of values that contribute to a better quality of life for children and their families, considering the hybridisation of online and offline life. At the same time, it is encouraged to use the Internet in a healthy way in order to reach a level of digital excellence (Kreutzer, 2022) achieved through digital sociology studies (Mackenzie, 2022) and to educate teenagers and parents about the impact of Fear of Missing Out (FoMo), associated with the integration of learning opportunities given by the philosophy of information (Moračίková, 2022). The association of frequent group activities in real life and increasing anchoring in reality through the development of social skills forms a strong preventive character.
