Water therepy is depend on type of Dibetis and condition of kidney, because some dibetic patiants has been advice to take limited water. If sugar trace in the early and sugar level is very normal then water therapy is very good.

Water therapy may cause overload of of work by the kidney and may lead to hyponatremia. Hyponatremia is a metabolic condition in which there is not enough sodium (salt) in the body fluids outside the cells.

The outcome depends on the condition that is causing the problem. In general, acute hyponatremia, which occurs in less than 48 hours, is more dangerous than hyponatremia that develops slowly over time. When sodium levels fall slowly over a period of days or weeks (chronic hyponatremia), the brain cells have time to adjust and swelling is minimal.

Hyponatremia can be a life-threatening emergency.
