The route of the word diabetes relates to large volumes of urine, (dia means 'through' and betes means 'to go', meaning lots of water goes through the body). For example, in diabetes insipidus, large volumes of watery (or insipid) urine are passed as a result of reduced antidiuretic hormone production. It is important to realise diabetes insipidus is a completely different disease from diabetes mellitus. 'Mellitus' means sweet, so in diabetes mellitus large volumes of sweet urine are produced. Diabetes mellitus is sometimes called sugar diabetes.

I have Diabetes Insipidus from the removal of my pituitary gland. I had a tumor by the name Pilocytic Astrocytoma at the age of 14. Now I am currently going through kemo-therapy (Vincristine and Carboplatin) for a year. Thank you for the video, it was very informing.

My dad has diabetes insipidus. I really appreciate this video. Most people don’t even know about diabetes insipidus much less how how deadly it really is. These people WILL die without ADH injections. Unfortunately some DI sufferers do not respond to ADH injections. Their bodies just don’t react to the injections and they die because their bodies can’t retain enough water for them to survive. Thankfully this disease is extremely rare. My dad was only properly diagnosed with diabetes insipidus because my grandma was a pediatric nurse who recognized the symptoms. If she hadn’t recognized the symptoms my dad, me, and my son might not be alive today

Thanks for this clear definition of diabetes insipidus, one of the best I've seen yet as it's both thorough and succinct at the same time. I have this condition and wish that my doctor had seen your video because it took several months for him to take me seriously, despite drinking and passing 20+ litres of water per day. It may shock you to hear this, but my doctor actually suggested that I suck on pastilles to reduce my thirst... didn't even check my sodium levels or anything. It wasn't until I sought a second opinion that the proper diagnosis finally took place. It may be a rare condition, but is very distressing to those of us who live with this as an undiagnosed condition. (The word "thirst" doesn't do it justice.) Thanks again!
