So - for me, the *First and *Second points back up the theory that diabetics should consume extra water.

But the *Third point has got me thinking - how do we replace these electrolytes/ions??? It DID remind me of "The Water Cure" (drinking water w/grey sea salt). Perhaps the grey sea salt CAN replace (at least some of) the electrolytes/ions lost due to hyperglycemia???

/Discuss.
 
Hi. I'm not an expert on this but I suspect having a balanced diet, even a diabetic one, will provide all the chemicals the body needs to re-create the electrolytes anyway?
 
At my annual review the nurse (not a DN just a general one) always asks me if I drink enough. I always say yes without asking her why she is asking.

I've been thinking that she has been told that uncontrolled diabetics wee a lot, so all of us have to drink more.
