Drinking water on a regular basis does help lower your blood sugar levels.

The way drinking water lowers your blood sugar levels is through the dilution of the amount of your glucose "Sugar" in your bloodstream.

The water that you drink dilutes that sugar or glucose which in turn lowers your blood sugar levels.

So if you suffer from high blood sugar you can easily lower your blood sugar to safe levels by consuming a few glasses of water per day.

The more water you consume the lower your blood sugar levels will be and the healthier you'll be as well.

Water helps to hydrate you and to flush toxins out of your kidneys as well.

It's recommended to drink at least 8 glasses of water per day but even a few of glasses of water per day is better than drinking no water at all.

The glycaemia, also known as blood sugar level, blood sugar concentration, or blood glucose level is the measure of glucose concentrated in the blood of humans or other animals.

Approximately 4 grams of glucose, a simple sugar, is present in the blood of a 70.3 kg human at all times.

A blood sugar level less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) is normal.

A reading of more than 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) after two hours indicates diabetes.

A reading between 140 and 199 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L and 11.0 mmol/L) indicates prediabetes.
