Introduction
Diabetic patients with healthy heart and kidney function should drink approximately 1,500–2,000 ml of water per day. If they have heart failure or renal failure, their daily water intake should be reduced to about 1,000–1,500 ml. In addition to managing water intake, patients should maintain a proper diet and avoid consuming overly sweet or greasy foods.
Diabetic patients with healthy heart and kidney function should drink approximately 1,500–2,000 ml of water per day. However, if they have symptoms of cardiac insufficiency or renal failure, their fluid intake should be reduced to about 1,000–1,500 ml per day.
Diabetes is a metabolic disorder caused by abnormal insulin secretion, leading to high blood glucose levels and increased blood viscosity. Therefore, maintaining adequate hydration after diagnosis can help prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. For patients with normal heart and kidney function, drinking 1,500–2,000 ml of water daily promotes metabolism and supports recovery.
Some diabetic patients suffer from heart failure or kidney failure, which impairs the body's excretory function. In such cases, fluid intake should be limited to 1,000–1,500 ml per day, adjusted according to individual conditions as necessary.
In addition to proper hydration, a well-balanced diet is essential; avoid consuming overly sweet or greasy foods.
