California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo
This clinical trial aims to learn if increasing water intake for five days can lower blood glucose in healthy, free-living individuals. The main question it aims to answer is whether increasing water intake will reduce daily blood glucose. Researchers will compare blood glucose when drinking adequate water to when the same individuals drink a low amount of water to see if blood glucose differs with water intake. Participants will be asked to drink a prescribed volume of water over two weeks while wearing a continuous glucose monitor and collecting two urine voids throughout each day.
Twenty participants between 18 and 55 will be recruited from San Luis Obispo County using flyers, social media, local channels, and other online methods. Participants must be able to provide written and verbal consent to participate in the study. They must not currently be diagnosed with conditions, including, but not limited to, diabetes, pre-diabetes, pregnancy, and chronic illnesses. They must neither have received any surgery on their digestive tract nor be taking any oral contraceptives. Surveys will be administered throughout the study consisting of validated surveys, which will be give…
