Causes, Symptoms, And Treatment Of Diabetes Insipidus

Diabetes insipidus is a rare condition causing a water imbalance in the body, leading to excretion of larger than normal amounts of urine and increased thirst even after drinking plenty of fluids. Although most individuals have heard of diabetes mellitus, typically as either type 1 or type 2 diabetes, this is not the same as diabetes insipidus. There is currently no cure for this form of diabetes; however, treatment options are available to satisfy thirst and decrease the amount of urine output to prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.
