Diabetes Insipidus Foundation

Annotation: The Diabetes Insipidus Foundation works to provide a greater public awareness and understanding of all forms of Diabetes Insipidus: Neurogenic/Central, Nephrogenic, Gestagenic, and Dipsogenic/Polydipsia. Diabetes Insipidus is a rare disorder primarily characterized by excreting excessive amounts of urine and drinking excessive amounts of water, leading to dehydration or water intoxication. The foundation serves patients of all ages, their families and the medical community with informational material and through the quarterly publication of Endless Water. The foundation works to promote Diabetes Insipidus as "A DIFferent Diabetes" so that people will know that there is another diabetes. The main goal of the Foundation is improved treatment and ultimately the prevention and cure of all forms of Diabetes Insipidus through research. The Foundation offers referral services, reference information, and publications (including a newsletter). Some materials are available in Spanish and French.
