The endocrinology consultant said that a person with diabetes insipidus has normal blood sugar levels, and does not suffer from a pancreatic disorder or deficiency in the production of the hormone insulin.
He explained that diabetes insipidus causes frequent urination, due to a decrease in a hormone in the body called vasopressin, noting that it is responsible for maintaining fluid balance in the body, by preventing diuresis.

According to WebMD, the urine of a patient with diabetes insipidus is often clear or pale in color.
Frequent urination associated with diabetes insipidus causes a decrease in fluids in the body, leading to feelings of extreme thirst, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) .
If a patient with diabetes insipidus does not drink enough water to replace fluids lost due to frequent urination, he may suffer from dry skin, according to Medscape.
Symptoms of diabetes insipidus include other symptoms, which the NHS website identifies as:
– Fatigue.
– Poor concentration.
– Bad desire.
