Will drinking water before a physical examination affect blood sugar?

With the development of society, many friends in life pay great attention to their physical health and go for regular physical examinations to avoid any diseases being ignored. However, there are many things to pay attention to during a physical examination, and people often do not pay attention, resulting in large errors in the results of the physical examination. So will drinking water before a physical examination affect blood sugar? What else should I pay attention to during the physical examination?

Experts say that on the day of the physical examination, you can drink 200 ml of water (a normal-sized glass of water) after getting up in the morning, which will not affect the results of the physical examination. However, it should be noted that the time to drink water here mainly refers to the time before the physical examination, which is preferably more than half an hour. Moreover, the amount of water you drink should not be too much, otherwise it may affect the blood sugar monitoring results.

In addition, you should not drink sugary drinks because they will increase your blood sugar level and affect your blood sugar test results.
