Effects of Hot Spring Water Drinking on Blood Glucose Levels in Kawayu Spa Kouji NISHIKAWA1) Yoshinori OHTSUKA2) 1) Kawayu Onsen Hospital 2) Health Administration Center, Hokkaido University Summary We investigated the effects of hot spring water drinking in Kawayu on blood glucose levels and insulin secretions. Kawayu hot spring water is characterized "acid alum vitriol hydrogensulfide" with a ph of 1.98. First, a glucose tolerance test (GTT) was performed on eight non-diabetic people and nine diabetic patients after drinking of tap water or Kawayu hot spring water at a one-week interval. Plasma glucose levels after pre-drinking spring water showed significantly (p=0.05) decreasing compared with those after pre-drinking tap water. Serum immunoreactive insulin (IRI) levels after predrinking hot spring water were tend to be higher at the early phase of GTT than those after pre-drinking tap water. And, we confirmed the correlation between the total decreasing of blood glucose levels and the reactions of insulin secretion at early phase of GTT after spring water drinking. Second, GTT was performed on seven diabetic patients before and after four-week drinking of Kawayu hot spring water. The results showed that hemoglobin A 1 c levels and total cholesterol levels ware decreased significantly (p<0.05). Total blood glucose levels of tested GTT were, however, almost similar before and after drinking treatment. These findings suggest that drinking of Kawayu hot spring water is beneficial for diabetic patients. Key words: drinking treatment, diabetes mellitus, spring water, Kawayu spa

Fig. 1-a Changes in plasma glucose levels (BS) of glucose tolerance tests performed for all 17 subjects. Glucose tolerance tests were performed after drinking tap water (control) or Kawayu spring hot water (sulfur) at one-week interval. Data are shown as mean values. Spring water was 5 times diluted with hot water. Fig. 1-c Changes in plasma glucose levels (BS) of glucose tolerance tests performed for nine diabetic patients. Data are shown as mean values. Fig. 1-b Changes in plasma glucose levels (BS) of glucose tolerance tests performed for eight nondiabetic people. Data are shown as mean values. Fig.2 Changes in serum immunoreactive insulin (IRI) levels on all 17 subjects. The IRI data were measured with plasma glucose at the same time. Data are shown as mean values. Spring water was 5 times diluted with hot water.

Fi g.3 Hemoglobin Alc (HbAlc) levels before and after (after 4 weeks) 4-week drinking treatment with Kawayu hot spring water for 7 diabetic patients. HbAlc was also measured at the 8-week point (after 8 weeks), which contained non-drinking period of hot spring water for four weeks after end of drinking treatments. Data show the means }SD.
