I am diabetic since 4 years, I am really afraid of drinking water as I heard that excess drinking water in diabetics will damage the kidneys soon, is that correct? Can I have plenty of water? Day be day I am loosing control on blood sugar levels with tablets. Is Insulin pump advice able for me? Is Pancreas Transplantation is safe?

There is no restriction on water intake for diabetics unless he has developed kidney failure. Insulin pump is advised for those who have absolute insulin deficiency like type one diabetics. Pancreas transplant is last option in diabetes control and not so simple.
