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.
She never mentioned anything about insulin and that's because she has Diabetes Insipidus, which she clearly stated. Diabetes Insipidus IS NOT Diabetes Mellitus.
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.
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!
I should add i was talking about hypothalamic (central) diabetes insipidus which is a deficiency of ADH hormone from the posterior pituitary. Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is where the kidney is unable to respond to antidiuretic hormone.
The best test for diabetes insipidus is a water deprivation test. Urine production, blood electrolyte levels, and weight are measured regularly for a period of about 12 hours, during which you are not allowed to drink.
My diabetes insipidus is controversial. One doctor says that I have central diabetes insipidus and others, eg. the latest urologist, say that I do not have it.
Because doctors did not search the cause years ago, I think that it is not important. The condition has been intermittent for many years and thus may not be serious.
I have had only a couple of bladder infections during my 65-year life, thus infections may not be causes for it. I have uterine issues, myomas and endometrial overgrowth.
Adding a complicating wrench into everything is the fact that she was diagnosed earlier this week with Diabetes Insipidus, and has numerous issues with keeping her sodium levels under adequate control (they have been persistently in 171-176) and maintaining an appropriate fluid balance and replacing her excessively high urine output.
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?
This can also be the result of diseases like diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus. Heart, liver and kidney failure and also certain medications cause excessive thirst. Some people with severe acidity too develop a habit of drinking water to counteract the effect of acidity.
You can cut down your salt, spicy and fried food intake. Avoid too much exposure to sun. Take an antacid twice a day. Eat frequent small meals. Keep a record of the water you take—do not drink more than 8-10 glasses.
Lithium does indeed have an effect on kidneys. Talk to your doctor about that. https://www.health.harvard.edu/newsletter_article/lithium-induced-kidney-problems But as you know, issues related to your diabetes can also include kidney issues. How well controlled is your diabetes?
Well, I had a similar thing going on with my dog, but it appears to have resolved itself right now.
If you have hot weather, and your dog has also been exercising hard, then you can expect she will drink more. Also if she has been fed anything which is salty.....
BUT...suddenly drinking a lot more can be a sign of many things. Has she been spayed? If not, it can be a sign of the dreaded Pyometra. Unusual, but not impossible in a 4 year old.
Doc narrorwed it down to diabetes insipidus or neurological (meaning she's neurotic). We have to test specific gravity and go from there. If it's normal, she's doing it to herself out of boredom. Ugh.
During a couple of years I have sometimes had hypernatremia (maybe dehydration), and often hypercalcemia (due to hyperparathyroidism). Maybe I have partial diabetes insipidus. I am wondering whether I could also have adrenal insufficiency. But I don't have low sodium or cravings for salt. On the contrary I don't like/tolerate salt. My S-Corsol has been normal. I don't have hyperaldosteronism.
I am 65 years old. I have had much stress and burnout in my history.
