Although there share similar names (and both are indicated by thirst and frequent urination), diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus are completely different conditions.
Diabetes mellitus is caused by the lack of (or insufficient) insulin. This is when the body is unable to handle the standard amounts of sugar in a normal diet. Obesity, Heredity, stress and drugs are also common factors that can lead to diabetes mellitus. The required diagnostic tests are a Fast blood sugar-24hr test, a post-prandial test and a Glucose tolerance test. The treatment requires the correct sugar/insulin intake and medication to prevent its progression. It also includes a change of diet.
On the other hand, Diabetes insipidus is indicated by the lack of the hormone vasopressin or the inability of the kidneys to respond to it. It is not connected with either sugar or the lack of it. The diagnostic tests as well as their treatments too are entirely different. The tests needed to diagnose Diabetes insipidus are a Water deprivation test and a vasopressin test. The most important part of the treatment is to replace vasopressin (usually with its synthetic counterpart desmopressin) also fluid intake and urine must be balanced.

Diabetes Mellitus, also known as Sugar Diabetes is more on Pancreatic disorder which case, the pancreas canot secrete or produce enough insulin needed by the body, while Diabetes insipidus is more of a kidney disorder by which the kidney cannot respond to lack of hormone Vasopressin secreted by the pituitary gland, although they have similarities in symptoms as in frequency of urination and thirst.

Diabetes Mellitus And Diabetes Inspitds both has similar symptoms such as excessive thrust and more urination etc. But they are completely different medical condition. You can detect inspitds with these symptoms, the tests like Urinalysis and fluid deprivation test will decide the disease and the cause. The Diabetes mellitus is common today and caused due to many reasons such as unhealthy diet, stress,
overweight and heredity etc.
