Staying hydrated is crucial for everyone, but it’s especially important for those managing diabetes.

1. Why It Matters:
Dehydration can lead to higher blood sugar levels as there’s less water in your bloodstream to dilute glucose.

2. How Much Water Should You Drink?
A general guideline is about 8-10 cups a day, but individual needs may vary based on activity levels, weather, and overall health.

3. Tips to Stay Hydrated:

  • Carry a water bottle and sip throughout the day.

  • Add flavor with lemon, cucumber, or a splash of sugar-free electrolyte drinks.

  • Monitor for signs of dehydration, such as dark urine or dry skin.

By staying hydrated, you can better regulate your blood sugar levels and support overall health.
