A member asked:
Can you still have diabetes insipidus even if your plasma sodium levels are normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: As long as your thirst mechanism is intact and you drink enough fluids to compensate for your excessive losses. Very hard to do, however, unless you have a very mild form of diabetes insipidus.
