Diabetes insipidus (DI) causes frequent urination and extreme thirst: you drink, then urinate, over and over. The cycle can keep you from sleeping or even cause bedwetting. Your body makes lots of urine that is almost all water.
Not the same as diabetes mellitus
| Diabetes insipidus (DI) | Diabetes mellitus (DM) | |
|---|---|---|
| Problem | how the kidneys handle fluids | insulin and high blood sugar |
| How common | much less common | more common |
The symptoms can look alike; urine and blood tests tell them apart.
Causes and treatment
DI is usually caused by a problem with the pituitary gland or the kidneys. Treatment depends on the cause; medicines often help.
