Summary People who drink less water likely to develop abnormally high blood sugar, a new study suggests.
When someone’s blood sugar levels are high, but not high enough to fit the definition of diabetes, doctors often consider that person to have “pre-diabetes” which puts them at risk of developing the disease itself.In the new study, adults who drank only half a liter of water about two glasses or less each day were more likely to develop blood sugar levels in the pre-diabetes range, versus people who drank more water. But whether simply drinking water will cut your risk of blood sugar problems is still up in the air.
