How has you affected a lot of water to your glucose (hydration / dehydration)

Hello everyone !

I wanted to ask you if you have observed changes in your glucose when drinking a lot of water.

Most of the newspaper articles that I have read talk a lot about the importance of drinking a lot of water if you are diabetic;But there are other articles that say it is not good because there are many minerals in the urine

Anyway, the question is: Has anyone noticed a change in your glucose when drinking a lot of water during the day?The change was positive for you?I am still drinking moderately but I wanted to see other opinions.

Thank you all for reading and commenting :)!

Hello

Complicated and interesting topic!

I try to drink between 2 to 3 liters day.If I do spinning in the gym, I approach the 3 liters because it sudo a lot!

I would not use water to try to lower blood glucose.Although it works a bit, that I don't know the truth I do not even try.Unnecessarily overloads the kidneys.And we already have enough with diabetes to crush the kidneys.

Drink the amount of water you need according to your activity

All the best

@Jorma, I trust my endocrine.I made that consultation and told me that I am very healthy, that if I need water, my body would let me know.What is not necessary to get blind of water.

Well, I drink at least 4 liters, but because the body asks me, from Monday to Friday, for work and I don't notice that it goes down more

In theory, drinking a lot of water can lower the sugar, but let's analyze well, if it goes down 10 or 20 mg/dl for drinking 1l of water, is it something notorious for us?I would say no.
Actually, no water goes down much more. Remember;Water ≠ insulin.

It lowers me more but it is because for now they have sent me an oral glucodiuretic, with which I drink more water and eliminate glucose through the urine ... but of course I recognize that it is not the solution

In theory, the sugar goes down, the amount with which I lower it, but surely what goes down is less than the error that the meter makes.The glucometer analyzes the concentration of glucose in mg/dl.This means that if we have 200, there are 200 milligrams in 1 blood deciliter.It is assumed that if we hydrate more that day, the concentration of glucose would fall, because the volume of water of the blood would be greater for the same amount of sugar.But well what really lowers sugar is insulin and physical exercise.

An interesting experiment would be to take blood sugar as soon as you get out of bed, then drink a glass of water and wait about 5-10 minutes and measure sugar again in the same puncture area, yet in those 10 minutes you can changeSugar naturally or changes for error in glucometer measurement.But if someone is encouraged to carry out the experiment that tells us how it was.
Greetings

Thanks for the answers!
I am currently drinking enough water for high uric acid reasons, but I don't see a very large difference.I have noticed that my glucose has dropped a little more lately in the mornings.But I think I would need more time doing this to get a clear idea of ​​how much glucose can really lower my body drinking more water than usual

Anyway, I think I agree with what is written before!

Good luck with diabetes!Greetings :)

Thanks for the explanation!
I think there is still enough experiments and more evidence on this to get a clear and concise idea about the issue of water ... but I think I also give you the reason in your comment written in this post.Interesting above all the glucometer contribution

Anyway, thanks for taking your time answering my question and you have a good day with your diabetes: Smile:
