Drinking water is great for diabetics, much like it’s great for all people. Water is not a direct cure for diabetes but it does support all metabolic processes in our body. One, not commonly known benefit is that water can make us feel more full when we feel like eating. One piece of advice I often give patients is when they have a food or sugar craving, to drink a bunch of water and wait 20 minutes. Often they lose the craving! Herb tea is another secret for curbing sugar cravings.
