Dear sportsci.org moderator

Could I please add this to my previous post re: Type 1 Diabetic in
Colts Rugby League
*******************************************************************

Dear Colleagues,

For those that may be able to assist with my question; I repeated the
test 3 times (twice with re-calibration of the device and once
without) with the same result 1.037...
fair to say repeatable. I am relying on the machine for accuracy

I think I have narrowed my question a little further however...

1) Is this particular athlete really dehydrated considering the
player played well and showed no contraindications? (I might think
not based on his performance on the day)

2) Is a type 1 diabetic able to be sufficiently euhydrated (intra and
extra cellular) whilst having a significantly raised Urine SG

3) Would the heavier constituents be solutes such as glucose, urinary
albumin and/or proteins etc?

4) If the above is so; what would be a more appropriate (non
invasive - bloods) way of ascertaining hydration status for a type 1
diabetic...Bio Electrical Impedance?

thanks again I'd appreciate any thoughts you might have.
