Generally, drinking water has no effect on blood glucose levels. Fasting blood glucose is one of the key diagnostic criteria for diabetes. However, if you feel thirsty before measuring blood glucose, it is perfectly acceptable to drink a small amount of water. Additionally, this male patient is advised to avoid foods high in sugar in his daily diet, limit fruit intake, ensure adequate sleep, avoid excessive emotional excitement, and strive to maintain emotional stability.
