Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

I have diabetes insipidus. Another name for this is "water diabetes". It has nothing to do with blood sugar,insulin, or the pancreas. It has to do with the hormone ADH and it usually is caused by a defect in the pituitary gland or the kidneys. Treatment usually consists of taking a hormone tablet daily. A person has to really watch out with this disease because dehydration can occur, no matter how much water is ingested.

Diabetes mellitus- deals with the pancreas , insulin, blood sugar. Treatment for this is much more complicated. Diet changes, exercise, and possibly insulin shots, and med's.

There are three main types of diabetes:

Type 1 diabetes: results from the body's failure to produce insulin, and presently requires the person to inject insulin. (Also referred to as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, IDDM for short, and juvenile diabetes.)

Type 2 diabetes: results from insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to use insulin properly, sometimes combined with an absolute insulin deficiency. (Referred to as non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, NIDDM for short, and adult-onset diabetes.)

Gestational diabetes: is when pregnant women, who have never had diabetes before, have a high blood glucose level during pregnancy.
