Background: Water pre-load affects insulin secretion by altering the level of copeptin (C-terminal component of the arginine vasopressin hormone (AVP)) and preventing obesity by reducing food intake.
Aims: The present randomized controlled trial (RCT) aimed to investigate the effects of pre-meal water intake on type 2 diabetes Mellitus (T2DM).
Materials And Methods: In this study, 40 patients with T2DM were randomly assigned to two intervention groups for 8 weeks; a) drinking 1 liter of water per day before each main meal (PW group)., and b) no water consumption before any meal (NPW group). At the beginning and at the end of the study, blood samples were taken to assess glycemic indices, lipid profile, copeptin and anthropometric indices.
Results: Pre-meal water intake was associated with lower energy intake, BMI, waist circumference (WC) and greater weight loss, in compared with the controls ( < 0.0001) after 8 weeks. At the end of the trial, the concentrations of fasting blood sugar (FBS) ( < 0.0001), triglyceride (TG) ( < 0.05), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) ( < 0.05) and copeptin ( < 0.05) were significantly reduced following water drinking before meals.
Conclusion: To sum up, the present study revealed that pre-meal water intake is associated with lower BMI, body weight, WC, FBS, TG, LDL-C and copeptin levels in patients with T2DM.
