Researchers say that water does have an impact on blood sugar regulation. Adequate hydration every day can not only regulate blood glucose levels but also help boost metabolism, induce weight loss, regulate blood pressure and boost kidney function.

From causing muscles cramps , unhealthy weight loss to immunity loss, dehydration can ruin your health. But, did you know that dehydration can also lead to blood glucose imbalance? Experts say that yes it can. When your body is denied of adequate water, the glucose levels get more concentrated. Water is beneficial to dilute concentrated glucose levels but when there is not enough of it, the concentrated glucose levels can show up in increased quantities in the glucose monitor. Staying adequately hydrated can also help your other organs like the kidneys. When glucose levels in the body are high, your kidneys also work overtime to flush the toxins out. Therefore, water can also help reduce the workload of your kidneys at the same time keeping your overall health intact. The effects of inadequate water can be less visible for ordinary people but it may be different for people suffering from diabetes.
