Do diabetics need more water?

Diabetes patients should drink plenty of water according to their condition.

If the patient has dry mouth, thirst and other symptoms due to diabetes, and normal kidney function, they can drink plenty of water to relieve clinical symptoms. However, if the patient has poor diabetes control and complicated with diabetic nephropathy, resulting in renal insufficiency, they should not drink more water, otherwise it will increase the burden on the kidneys, which is not conducive to recovery.
