Why Hydration Matters for Diabetes
Proper hydration is especially important for people with diabetes. When blood sugar levels are high, your kidneys work harder to flush excess glucose through urine, which can lead to dehydration. Staying well-hydrated helps:
- Maintain proper blood sugar levels
- Support kidney function
- Prevent complications from high blood sugar
- Improve energy levels and concentration
- Aid digestion and nutrient absorption
Signs of Dehydration
Watch for these signs that you may need more water:
- Increased thirst
- Dry mouth or lips
- Dark yellow urine
- Fatigue or dizziness
- Headaches
- Decreased urination
Hydration Tips
- Drink water throughout the day, not just when you feel thirsty
- Keep a reusable water bottle with you
- Set reminders on your phone to drink water regularly
- Drink extra water before, during, and after exercise
- Choose water over sugary drinks that can spike blood sugar
- Eat water-rich foods like cucumbers, watermelon, and lettuce
- Monitor your urine color - pale yellow indicates good hydration
