A lil FYI-
Excessive urination and extreme thirst (especially for cold water and sometimes ice or ice water) are typical for DI. Symptoms of diabetes insipidus are quite similar to those of untreated
diabetes mellitus, with the distinction that the urine is not sweet as it does not contain glucose and there is no
hyperglycemia (elevated
blood glucose). Blurred vision is a rarity. Signs of
dehydration may also appear in some individuals since the body cannot conserve much (if any) of the water it takes in.
The extreme urination continues throughout the day and the night. In children, DI can interfere with appetite, eating, weight gain, and
growth as well. They may present with
fever,
vomiting, or
diarrhea. Adults with untreated DI may remain healthy for decades as long as enough water is drunk to offset the urinary losses. However, there is a continuous risk of
dehydration.
And I have 1 of the 4 types Central DI
Central diabetes insipidus is due to damage to the hypothalamus or pituitary due to a
tumor,
stroke,
neurosurgery or some rather rare causes (which include
hemochromatosis,
sarcoidosis,
histiocytosis, diseases that can form masses in the vicinity like a
tuberculoma or
syphilis and some
genetic disorders). If the hypothalamus is damaged, the feeling of thirst may be completely absent.
