Influence of drinking regime on the plasma glucose level for patients with insulin-nondependent type 2 diabetes mellitus

Abstract

Optimal drinking regime influences on the plasma glucose level in patients with insulin-nondependent type 2 diabetes mellitus with fixed water consumption deficiency during the diet maintaining and oral antihyperglycemic therapy has been assessed. 103 people: 21 men (20,4%) and 82 women (79,6%) took part in the research. The average age of the group was 64,7±3,2 (men - 61,1±1,01, women - 68,3±5,4). The research for each patient continued for 10 days, in the first 5 days we observed for the volume of the drunk water. If the deficiency of drunk water was found out the patients were offered to the lacking volume with warm boiled water. The deficiency of water for each patient was calculated by this formula: «42,9 (ml) Х weight (kg) - the average patient’s volume of drunk water for 5 days (ml)». The deficiency of the volume of drunk water was 2101,3 in average R (range) [1902,9; 3119,3] ml. The optimal water regime in the group of patients with insulin-nondependent type 2 diabetes mellitus led to depression of the average glucose level of blood plasma. Also it helped to stabilize the glucose level during a day.
