People with diabetes can drink alkaline mineral water. Generally, individuals with diabetes have no restrictions regarding water intake; they may drink water whenever thirsty to prevent dehydration, which is detrimental to their health. However, people with diabetes should avoid sugary drinks or saline solutions, as these can elevate blood glucose levels and exacerbate diabetic symptoms.
