A member asked:
Have you ever heard of any endurance athletes with diabetes insipidus? were they able to manage their hydration and electrolyte balance?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You're good: A search of the nih database showed no special care recommendations for endurance athletes with diabetes insipidus. I'm not an endocrinologist or nephrologist but my sense is that a smart patient could manage the electrolytes easily and enjoy taking part.
