Diabetes insipidus (DI) is the inability to hold onto water due to lack of /resistance to ADH.
Remember ADH is released as serum osmolality ⬆️ to ⬆️ renal water reabsorption, but in patients with DI this doesn’t occur and so they pass large vol watery urine - can be >10L/day!🛁

Note diabetes insipidus has nothing to do with glucose/sugar like diabetes mellitus! ⛔️❌⛔️
