Impact of drinking water practices on diabetes management
There is a potential impact on blood sugar control of diabetes patients due to inadequate or excessive drinking water. Good drinking water habits not only maintain normal functioning of the body, but also support blood sugar management.
Maintaining adequate water levels
Diabetes diabetics are more likely to have multiple urine due to high blood sugar, which can lead to dehydration. The daily intake of a sufficient amount of moisture helps to avoid the symptoms of fatigue, dizziness and so forth associated with dehydration. In general, the daily amount of drinking water for adults should be between 1.5 and 2 litres, but specific needs vary according to individual weight, activity and environmental conditions.
2. Selection of healthy drinks
Pure water is the best drink option for diabetes patients. Avoiding sugary beverages, such as carbonated beverages, juices, etc., they rapidly increase blood sugar. For people who like flavoured drinks, the choice is to add lemon tablets, cucumber chips or cold water with mint leaves, which adds to the flavor without affecting blood sugar.
3. Observation of the effects of drinking water on blood sugar
Inadequate drinking water may lead to an increase in blood sugar, as the concentration of glucose in blood increases relatively when dehydration occurs. Diabetes patients should proactively replenish water before they feel thirsty, especially in post-motion or hot weather. If thirst continues frequently after drinking water, the possibility of a rise in blood sugar should be monitored in a timely manner.
4. Avoiding one-time large quantities of drinking water
Although an adequate quantity of drinking water is beneficial, large quantities of one-time water may increase the kidney burden, especially for diabetics associated with the impairment of kidney function. It is recommended that water be used in a small number of ways, with 100-200 ml of water per hour, and that the body be balanced.
Drinking water practices play an important role in diabetes management. By choosing healthy drinks, appropriate quantities of drinking water and observing physical reactions, diabetes patients can better manage blood sugar while maintaining their overall health.
