Experiments with artificial sweat and under real-time conditions

5 Experiments with artificial sweat and under real-time conditions 

Finally, the electrode configuration was tested with artificial sweat instead of sodium chloride-containing electrolyte solutions. No shifts of relationships or different results were found between the experiments performed with artificial sweat and those with sodium chloride solutions (section 10.4). From these results, the following conclusions can be drawn  

For the detection of low sugar levels in the blood, the sensor system was less successful. Despite its possible use as an early-warning system for diabetes patients, it shows serious limitations owing to interference from other 

6 Resistance measured between two yarn electrodes implemented in a baby s nappy as a function of time, with f=0 the moment that urine formation occurs. 

7 Resistance measured between two yarn electrodes implemented in an electrochemical cell positioned at the leg of a human body as a function of time. Sweat formation rate for (1) a diabetes patient at the moment of low sugar level, (2) an athlete exercising and (3) a diabetes patient walking in hot severe conditions arrow indicates the point at which the sugar level becomes low.
