[Diabetes-talk] testing with the prodigy voice

[Mike Freeman]

I supose the watchword should be: whatever works.

However, unless you are severely dehydrated, I don't see how drinking 
more water would make much difference in blood volume, at least over the 
long hall, as the excess is excreted as urine rather quickly. In fact, 
the latest medical info is that unless one is elderly and has trouble 
detecting thurst, the old saw of drinking eight glasses of water in 
addition to mealtime liquid is an old wives' tale. But many books still 
reproduce the eight glasses of water a day mantra.

I drink darn near a half-gallon of coffee a day so guess I don't have a 
problem. (grin)

Mike

Also be sure to drink plenty of water.  I had a very very tough time, as 
members of this list know, with getting sufficient blood draws, and this 
didn't change until I started drinking more water, in regular amounts.
