Is drinking water good for diabetics?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, diabetics need to drink enough water to prevent dehydration. Dehydration leads to release of a hormone named, vasopressin which stimulates liver and increases blood sugar levels. So, inorder to prevent this diabetics need to drink enough water daily.

Drinking water is indeed beneficial for managing diabetes. Here are the key points to understand:
-
Hydration helps control blood sugar: Drinking enough water can help your kidneys flush out excess sugar through urine, which may help lower blood sugar levels.
-
Prevents dehydration: High blood sugar can cause dehydration, so staying well-hydrated is important.
-
Supports overall health: Proper hydration aids in digestion, circulation, and maintaining energy levels.
-
No sugar or calories: Water is the best choice compared to sugary drinks, which can raise blood sugar.
Remember, while drinking water is helpful, it should be part of a broader diabetes management plan including diet, exercise, medication, and regular monitoring. If you have concerns or symptoms like excessive thirst or frequent urination, discuss them with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

I'm on thyronorm 75 MCG since last June for subclinical hypothyroidism, my level was 7.50 back then. I haven't checked my thyroid levels or seen the doctor since because I've been feeling okay, but lately, I've been experiencing back pain and sometimes I get blue vision. Could this be related to the thyronorm tablets I'm taking? Any advice would be helpful.
