      Of course! Water is a major nutrient, as we are composed of at least 60% water. It is calorie-free, so it will not raise your blood sugar. It is most important that you stay well hydrated, as elevated glucose can be dehydrating, leading to headaches and dizziness. The textbook recommendation is to drink half your body weight in ounces of water throughout the day.
