Expert Answer
Diabetes mellitus - When pancreas is unable to secrete insulin or when the cells in our body develop resistance to insulin, the glucose in the blood will not be utilized.
Diabetes insipidus - Due to some injuries or viral diseases, the hypothalamus or pituitary gland get damaged and might be rendered unable to produce the hormone vasopressin. In some, the kidneys might have defect or be damaged due to certain reasons resulting in inability to respond to vasopressin. This lack of vasopressin or inability to respond to vasopressin causes the body to lose water through excessive urination.
In those who are suffering from diabetes insipidus, excess urination results in increasing the concentration of salts or electrolytes present in the body. In diabetes mellitus, since the body cannot process the glucose present in blood, there is excess glucose present in the blood.
