Drinking an extra 1.5 liters of water each day for six weeks lowers fasting blood glucose levels in people who are moderately dehydrated.

Drinking more water lowers the body's stress hormone signal, which tells the liver to stop making so much sugar, leading to lower blood sugar levels in the morning.
