You talking about the stuff in the toilet?
But I'm sure you're right. I've drank a few bottles here and there lately, but not enough.
Order one of these and you can drink directly out of the toilet. Maybe by making it this convenient it will prompt you to up your water intake.

I'm 72 and was diagnosed with Type 2 in 2000 when I had back surgery. I've never developed an insulin dependency but I have run the gauntlet of different medications. The first one they put me on was glyburide which made me retain water and my weight ballooned up to 253 lbs. Once they took me off that and switched me to other medications, my weight dropped to about 225. I am now taking a once a week shot of Trulicity and Jardiance and Metformin.
I still smoke my pipe almost daily and will have one or two drinks a night. I no longer drink beer though. I also don't eat bread, rice or potatoes on a daily basis any more. (I still eat them, just not every day.)
Between that and riding my bike three or four days a week, my weight has now dropped to 184 lbs.
What works for me, works for me. Talk to your doctor for advice. Don't rely on any information you see on social media and forums.

But would you actually from the commode with that thing?
Only in an apocalyptic scenario where my only choice was the toilet water or a diet coke.
"Smoking may increase the risk of diabetes because it can increase blood sugar levels."
The article didn't say nicotine raises blood sugar. It said smoking raises blood sugar. Since you use smokeless tobacco this is an important distinction. Also, unless you're smoking a significant amount of cigarettes, which is where nearly all the smoking data for these studies comes from, the likelihood is that the factors involved are ones other than smoking, such as diet, physical activity, family history etc.
Drink 4-5 cups of coffee a day. Helps with diabetes I read from the mayo clinic I believe. Also water. Plenty of water. All I drink is coffee and water.
Try squeezing some lime or lemon into the water. It reaslly helps by giving it some flavor
Cucumber in water is also very refreshing and provides needed electrolytes.
