How Seniors Should Drink Water to Help Support Blood Sugar & Diabetes Health (Doctor Explains)

Описание: #Diabetes #BloodSugar #SeniorHealth
Many older adults feel frustrated because they’re doing “everything right.” They take their prescribed medications, watch what they eat, and try to stay active—yet their blood sugar still feels unstable or harder to predict. One commonly overlooked piece of the puzzle is hydration—not just how much water you drink, but how and when you drink it throughout the day.

In this video, Dr. Rachael Ross explains how water intake can influence blood sugar regulation in seniors. After age 60, thirst signals often become less reliable, mild dehydration can happen without obvious symptoms, and even small fluid deficits may increase insulin resistance. That can contribute to higher morning readings, bigger after-meal spikes, and ongoing low energy.

You’ll learn why water timing matters for glucose balance, how proper hydration may support insulin sensitivity, and which everyday habits can help reduce unnecessary fluctuations. The video shares practical strategies like the best times to drink water during the day, common hydration mistakes to avoid, and how hydration may support overnight metabolic recovery.

Real-life senior scenarios are also discussed to show how small changes in hydration routines helped improve fasting numbers, reduce post-meal spikes, and support more consistent long-term management—especially when combined with medical guidance and healthy lifestyle habits.

This video is designed for seniors dealing with type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, insulin resistance, or rising A1C who want a clearer, more practical understanding of how hydration fits into blood sugar management.
