What is diabetes insipidus?
When most people hear the word "diabetes" they actually mean
diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus occurs in two types, Type I and
Type II, the form that is fast becoming the top deadly disease
globally. Diabetes mellitus is caused by either the body destroying
it ability to make insulin (TypeI) or becoming resistant to taking in
insulin from the blood (TypeII).

is caused by the lack of the antidiuretic hormone called
vasopressin or the kidney's inability to respond to this hormone.

Both forms of diabetes --mellitus and insipidus--have similar
symptoms. In both, you experience thirst and frequent urination.

The color of your urine is different with DI. With Di, your urines
is very pale yellow color or almost clear. With In the other
diabetes, the urine is darker and opaque.
DI is sometimes called "central DI" or "nephrogenic DI" to prevent

DI.
