In the context of diabetes, water intake may have implications in increasing insulin resistance, development of complications, relation to anti-diabetic agents and also in prevention of diabetes. In this brief article, we list various aspects of water nutrition, i.e., hydration that support its status as a mega- nutrient, as a preventative therapy against diabetes, and as a treatment modality for diabetes and its complications.
