I do feel different when I drink more water however I am terrible at remembering to drink more! I do feel as I have more when I do. In winter I struggle the most. I often add hot water so it’s not too cold which helps me. Befire meals I will try to drink a small glass.
GP and hospital have advise to drink more water but not actually given any practical tips etc.

I have an app that reminds me to drink 1 cup of water every 2 hours and let me tell you, the difference is night and day. I also have fatty liver and blood pressure and this is the single best thing I've done for my health, as senseless as that sounds..

Hi everyone,
We all know hydration is important, but for people with type 2 diabetes, staying hydrated can play a bigger role in managing blood sugar and overall health. Some people even say they feel more energized and stable when they drink enough.
So, what’s your experience been?
