Water is a key element in diabetes control but the most neglected component among diabetics. Usually when people discuss diabetes, the controlling factors like diet, exercise, sleep & medicines are talked about. What is not talked about is the issue of drinking water & maintenance of fluid balance. It is critical to note that mild dehydration can lead to spike in blood sugar there by damaging the entire body over a period of time. Similarly, one should know that water is the most vital part of our fluid intake while we should also have fluids with electrolytes. The fluids should have an optimal concentration of glucose to facilitate absorption. The current article brings forth the issue of dehydration in diabetes & sees the role of Homoeopathy in dealing with these bi-issues. The article discusses the issue of dehydration in detail before delving into the role of dehydration specifically to diabetes. While it brings out the issue of Homoeopathy through its Essential Medicine properties, it also suggests a treatment protocol based on homoeopathic therapeutics. At the distal end, it discusses the burden of the issue at national level & the way ahead to deal with is Non Communicable Disease (NCD).
