Diabetes insipidus is a disorder characterized by increased urine production caused by inadequate secretion of vasopressin by the pituitary gland. Diabetes mellitus is either of two chronic forms of diabetes in which insulin does not effectively transport glucose from the bloodstream: juvenile-onset diabetes is a rapidly developing form, affecting children and young adults, in which the body does not produce enough insulin and insulin must therefore be injected or adult-onset diabetes a slowly developing form in which the body's tissues become unable to use insulin effectively. |
