Questions
Do coffee and tea count?
Most drinks count toward your fluids. Your doctor may give you a different target if you have heart or kidney disease.
Why does hydration matter on a GLP-1?
You get less water from food when you eat less, and vomiting or diarrhea can dehydrate you. The labels warn that dehydration can affect the kidneys.
How many glasses is my target?
The calculator counts 250 ml glasses. 2 liters is 8 glasses.
How do I know if I am drinking enough?
Pale yellow urine and not feeling thirsty are common signs. Ask your doctor if you are unsure.
Can I drink too much water?
Yes, though it is rare in healthy adults. If you have a fluid limit for heart or kidney reasons, follow it.
Does Steady track water?
Yes. Add a glass with a tap, and the Hydration widget shows your day on your Home Screen.
Does this use my body weight?
Yes, about 33 ml per kg, kept between 1.8 and 4.2 liters.
Is Steady on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Steady is on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android.
