The term '''diabetes''' can mean one of two quite different ]s:
* the more common "sugar diabetes", ] where the amount of sugar in the blood is excessive; forms include type 1 (almost synonymous with juvenile or insulin-dependent diabetes), type 2 (almost synonymous with adult-onset or non-insulin-dependent diabetes) and gestational diabetes (during pregnancy) as well as many other types of nontransient hyperglycemia
* or the less common "water diabetes", ], where the body is incapable of concentrating ], leading to increased urine production, fluid loss and thirst.


{{Redirect category shell|
Both types of diabetes usually involve excessive urination (''polyuria'') in the untreated state. The meanings of the descriptors ''mellitus'' and ''insipidus'' refer to the tastes of the urine in the two conditions (''sweet'' and ''tasteless'' respectively) and date back to the days of gustatory urinalysis ("pisse prophecy").
{{R from long name}}
In common modern usage, "diabetes" without the descriptor always (I am wary of "always" but have never heard or read an exception) refers to diabetes mellitus. The current medical shorthand term for diabetes insipidus is "D.I."

Redirect to:

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
  • Extended-confirmed protected: This is a redirect from a title that is extended confirmed protected from editing for any of several possible reasons.
    • Please do not replace these redirected links with links directly to the target page unless expressly advised to do so below or elsewhere on this page, or if the change is supported by a policy or guideline.
  • From a longer title: This is a redirect from a title that is a complete, more complete or longer version of the topic's name. It leads to the title in accordance with the naming conventions for common names and can help writing and searches. However, do not replace these redirected links with a piped link unless the page is updated for another reason.
  • From a page move: This is a redirect from a page that has been moved (renamed). This page was kept as a redirect to avoid breaking links, both internal and external, that may have been made to the old page name.
  • With history: This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect to preserve its former content and attributions. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
    • This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, nor for redirects created as a result of a page merge (use {{R from merge}} instead), nor for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Misplaced Pages (use {{R with old history}} instead).
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
