How do you tell Diabetes Insipidus from type 1 of type 2 Sugar Diabetes Mellitus?
Well, the sure way is to do a glucose test. Your doctor can help you determine if you have Sugar Diabetes Mellitus or just Diabetes Insipidus. The later is far less dangerous. So, how much is too much water to drink? How often is it too frequent urination? If you are drinking more than a gallon of water (about 12 glasses of water) a day, then you may be drinking more than normal. Be careful that you don’t drink too much water, or you may be at risk of water intoxication. If you urinate more than 3.5 quarts a day, than that is higher than normal. The average person does not urinate more than 2 cups every two hours. If you are urinating too frequently, you may need to take an anti-diuretic such as DDAVP. Again, if you have questions about the frequency of your urination, please see your doctor. He or she may recommend an urologist. Visit our forum to discuss clear urine.
