I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Headache, nausea, upset stomach, or flushing of the face may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly. Desmopressin can infrequently cause a low level of sodium in the blood, which can be serious and possibly life-threatening. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

First of all, there is nothing like central diabetes mellitus. Sometimes, excess gh or acth release from pituitary from the tumor may cause hyperglycemia called as secondary diabetes. Low secretion of adh may cause excessive urination known as diabetes insipidus lead to excessive thirst. But sugar remains normal in the blood. So please be more specific about his illness and give a proper history of what hormones he is taking regularly.

Drink according to your thirst, so become aware of yourself! drink 8-10 glasses of water in a day. Regarding your concerns about diabetes insipidus, or any other health problem, please talk to your doctor and let him examine you and diagnose the problems with clarity. Some tests would be suggested to arrive at some conclusion.
