When the body is dehydrated, vasopressin levels rise and cause the kidneys to conserve water. But the researchers also found that vasopressin is too high can also increase blood sugar.

This fact is based on the 3615 French adults aged between 30 and 65 who have normal blood sugar levels at the beginning of research. Approximately 19 percent said they drank less than half a liter (17 ounces) of water every day, while the rest drank up to one liter or more.
