Oral Rehydration Solutions (ORS) are frequently given to combat dehydration. However, doctors find seemingly similar drinks, often available in various flavours and named ORSL, which can have vastly different impacts on blood sugar levels. Mislabelled energy drinks, mistaken for ORS, have high sugar content and pose serious threat to diabetics, leading to dehydration and even kidney damage.
