Your fasting blood sugar is high before you've eaten a single thing. You've been sleeping for six to eight hours, not snacking, not cheating, and the number is still up. Here's what most people never hear: dehydration could be a major reason why.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How overnight dehydration triggers stress hormones that tell your liver to release stored sugar before breakfast
• Why your brain confuses thirst for hunger and what that means for your blood sugar and your waistline
• What people on diabetes medication need to know about hydration right now
• How fast your body actually responds when you start drinking more water
• A simple 6-step plan to use water as a real blood sugar management tool
