How much water should a diabetic drink?

8 glasses of water per day add up to about 2 liters of water (67 ounces or just over half a gallon). As people with diabetes, drinking enough water is especially crucial. Even a little dehydration during the day (which is easier than we realize) can impact our blood sugars.
