Fluid intake: Potentially 2.7 liters per day which includes fluids from foods and water (per Institute of Medicine) REF: http://www.doctoroz.com/blog/leigh-vinocur-md-facep/how-much-water-do-you-really-need Seehttp://www.invokanalawyer.net/dehydration-fluid-imbalances/

1 1/2 liters daily: Invokana should not be used for type 1 diabetes. You are rather young to be having type 2 but you are living proof that it is possible. One of its side effects is dehydration. Drink plenty. Adapt to circumstances, temperature high, drink more, exercise plus, drink more. sweaty? drink more. dizzy? drink more +/- glucose. If non diabetics roughly speaking should drink a liter I would say 1 1/2
