| Currently, diabetes is the second leading disease in the world especially in the USA. Water and diabetes are closely related to each other. Before we review the key that water holds, let's review diabetes and then how water naturally relates to diabetes.Generally, there are two common types of diabetes called as Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. When a person's pancreas does not produce the required amount of insulin, the person is usually diagnosed as having Type 1 diabetes. For those who have never heard of insulin before, it is instrumental for the movement of glucose from blood to cells for producing energy.If the glucose in a person's body is not converted into energy, it accumulates until it reaches a high level, causing the Type 1 diabetes. If you are diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, it means that your body cannot make use of the insulin created by the pancreas due to certain reasons. This causes an increase in the glucose level.Type 1 diabetes is more common than Type 2 and can be cured with appropriate exercise and diet. As you may have guessed, controlling the amount of sugar intake is essential for diabetic patients. Diabetic patients usually have urinary problems due to the high content of sugar. Some may have to endure a burning feeling while urinating.It is normal to pass urine, which is whitish to yellowish in color. Therefore, you can check the color of your urine as a rough indicator of your sugar level. By drinking lots of water, it is possible to dilute the glucose or sugar in the body. The excess sugar can be eliminated in a diluted form through urine. Most importantly, there might be less pain while passing urine due to its diluted form.Generally, a healthy person is advised to drink eight to ten glasses of plain water each day. However, if you are a diabetic patient, it is best to drink much more than that. You can gauge the amount of water you should drink by checking the color of your urine. While you know the acid test for urine is- the more clear the better and water is the diluting agent, how do we find ways to drink more water? The question is simple enough, trouble is, some things are easier said than done. If you think the second piece of pie doesn't taste as good as the first, then when it comes to the second glass of water the metaphor is amplified.Here are some tips and ideas to help you: Drink water with flavoring, especially natural flavoring concentrates with no carbs or calories. These flavor drops enhance the flavor of water, contain no nutrient value, but make drinking water taste better. If it tastes better- you just naturally drink more of it. These flavor concentrates are easy to carry and easy to use. The other option is to blend your own flavored. You can use citrus slices or their juices or berries and fruits. Muddle the fruits in the bottom of the glass to bring out their flavorings.Either way when it comes to water and diabetes: natural flavor concentrates or natural fruits will make drinking water easier and more fun. In the final analysis, there is really no better or simpler way to help keep your diabetes in check than drinking more water.
