It's crucial for diabetics to recognize the signs of dehydration.

 Early symptoms include:

- *Thirst*
- *Dry Mouth*
- *Dark Urine*
- *Dizziness*
- *Fatigue*

If dehydration progresses to a severe state, symptoms may include:

- *Confusion*
- *Sunken Eyes*
- *Increased Heart Rate*

Severe dehydration can be life-threatening if not addressed promptly. Recognizing these signs and taking action early can help prevent serious complications.

 Tips to Stay Hydrated

1. *Drink Fluids Regularly*  
   While water is essential, consider incorporating caffeine-free beverages with low sugar content and adequate electrolytes.

2. *Avoid Alcohol*  
   Alcohol can contribute to dehydration, so it's best to limit or avoid it.

3. *Use Electrolyte Drinks*  
   Dr. Khan recommends ready-to-serve electrolyte drinks, especially for non-diarrheal dehydration. These drinks contain known quantities of electrolytes and energy ingredients that can help maintain hydration.
