Avatar f tn Diabetes Insipidus is not the normal type of diabetes that can be controlled by food or by medications like metformin or insulin. Diabetes Type 1 and Type 2 are those that are controlled by food and or medications like metformin or insulin. Diabetes Insipidus is a rare condition and nothing to do with the the pancreas and production of insulin or lack of it. A blood sugar monitor will be of no use to someone with Diabetes Insipidus.
Avatar f tn She never mentioned anything about insulin and that's because she has Diabetes Insipidus, which she clearly stated. Diabetes Insipidus IS NOT Diabetes Mellitus.
358018 tn?1200451427 Okey-dokey. It's late. Correction. Diabetes comes from the Greek word diabainein, which means to spread one's legs appart. The term insipidus comes from the greek word "fountain". Together we have diabetes insipidus. Which you probably don't have.
Avatar n tn If the levels are so low and potassium levels are high maybe a creatinine clearance test should be done to test the condition of the kidney and rule out diabetes insipidus. CPK or creatinine phosphokinase and liver enzymes should be done if there is muscle wasting. Diabetes insipidus can also cause whole body edema. Please consult an endocrine specialist and a nephrologist. Take care!
Avatar f tn Another possibility might be diabetes insipidus . Look it up on the net and see if you think this might be a possibility. Of course a doctor would have to diagnose it. You cannot walk around dehydrated all the time. So make sure you see a doctor real soon.
Avatar n tn It's a flag for diabetes. The term diabetes insipidus comes from the Greek word for "fountain". As thyroidian suggested it could also be prostate, but he is a bit young. He needs an hba1c test.
1685471 tn?1305360419 Hello, The first possibility for a frequent urge of urination is urinary tract infection. Get your urine examination done and drink plenty of fluids.
Avatar f tn Would that be normal for diabetes? What about diabetes insipidus? And are pancreas or liver enzymes often raised for diabetics? So confused.

Avatar n tn Diabetes insipidus(water diabetes) is due to a hormone lacking that helps us hold onto water, these children will urinate excessively, drink excessively, lose weight and be sick with high sodiums, there is a form due to the pituitary hormone lacking and that which is due to the kidney not responding to the normal hormone. It does not sound like repeated fevers alone is diabetes insipidus.
Avatar m tn Hello, Increased frequency of urination can be physiological or disease-related, and include excessive intake of liquids, diuretic substances (including tea, caffeine, alcohol, certain drugs), anxiety, exposure to cold, diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus (central or nephrogenic), urinary tract infections or obstruction, etc to name a few more common ones.

Avatar m tn Thanks Jemma, I definitely do need to relax! It's very difficult though when I'm constantly cold regardless of apparel and my blood pressure remains presistently low. I just want to figure this out quickly in case it has something to do with my heart or if it's diabetes.

Avatar n tn Hello, Your symptom is called polyuria (excessive frequency of voiding). It can be due to many reasons which can be physiological or disease-related, and include excessive intake of liquids, diuretic substances (including tea, caffeine, alcohol, certain drugs), anxiety, exposure to cold, diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus (central or nephrogenic), urinary tract infections or obstruction, etc to name a few more common ones.

Avatar m tn I was checked for diabetes mellitus. This was done through a 3 month blood glucose test. I also had a urinalysis done. I'm not sure what was tested for. I was only billed less than 3 dollars for test, and it was performed at the doctors office. What type of urinalysis do you think I was tested for? Any suggestions on what other tests I should have done. I was thinking it could be diabetes insipidus.
Avatar f tn Antidiuretic hormone (ADH or vasopressin) is a hormone produced by the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary gland. ADH deficiency is known as diabetes insipidus. Symptoms are frequent thirst and urination. Treatment is desmopressin (synthetic replacement for vasopressin) - taken 2 to 3 times a day.
Avatar m tn This forum deals mostly with type 2 diabetes, people who have high blood sugar levels [mellitus]. Diabetes insipidus is kidney related. For best answers, the forum to post on is Kidney Disease & Disorders.

Avatar f tn I dont know whether true diabetes insipidus can be periodic. And whether blood calcium vary much? My latest ionised Ca was 1.37. Could it someteimes be even higher?. Hypercalcemia may cause polyuria. A doctor said that it would be difficult to find a surgeon who would do hyperparathyroid operation as to my ionized Ca values (varying 1.29-1.37). I may have parathyroid hypelplasia (according to a Sestamibi Technetium scan). What other things can cause variation in my symptoms? Dysautonomia?
Avatar m tn Is there a medication for Diabetes Insipidus other than Desmopressin? The headaches as a side affect are dibilitating. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/557217'>peuatrygland diabetts</a>.

Avatar n tn I have been diagnosed with a fib, several years ago and am taking meds (beta blocker and antiarrhythmic, coumadin) I had a PVI 18 months ago and initially the frqency and duration of episodes diminished but never disappeared. recently, I was diagnosed with diabetes insipidus and have a fib episodes of increasing frequency (almost daily0 and duration (3-8 hours). Can there be a relationship between the tow (a fib and diabetes insipidus?
Avatar f tn He has classic symptoms of diabetes but the glucose test came back fine. His A1C fluctuates but is till within normal range. He's been tested for diabetes insipidus and so his symptoms are not from that. He had a MRI to check for a tumor on his pituitary gland. He has a small cyst near it but not on it and it's very small the ped neurologist said it wasn't causing his symptoms.
Avatar n tn Then test for diabetes and see—fasting blood sugar, two hours after food and glucose tolerance test. Diabetes insipidus too should be looked into. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
