Diabetes insipidus in children happens when the kidneys put out large amounts of water in pee. It’s not the same as diabetes mellitus, like type 1 and type 2 diabetes, which involve blood sugars.  

A child with diabetes insipidus can have extreme thirst and make large amounts of pale pee. They may have to pee a lot during the night and prefer cold drinks. Kids can also have fever, vomiting, weight loss and trouble with bowel movements. Our endocrinologists know what to look for, and how to treat it.
