The Claim
Increasing daily water intake by 1.5 liters for six weeks reduces fasting plasma glucose in moderately dehydrated individuals.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Drinking an extra 1.5 liters of water each day for six weeks lowers fasting blood glucose levels in people who are moderately dehydrated.
See the scientific wording
Increasing daily water intake by 1.5 liters for six weeks reduces fasting plasma glucose in moderately dehydrated individuals.
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.
What the research says
1 studyPeople who didn't drink enough water and were mildly dehydrated saw their fasting blood sugar go down after they started drinking an extra 1.5 liters of water every day for six weeks. So yes, drinking more water helped lower their blood sugar.
