Occurrence of diabetes mellitus in neurogenic diabetes insipidus.
The occurrence of a family history of diabetes mellitus, of overt diabetes mellitus and of impaired glucose tolerance was investigated in a group of 43 patients with neurogenic diabetes insipidus. Family history was positive in 16.2% of these, similar to that in control subjects; manifest diabetes mellitus was present in 9.3%, impaired glucose tolerance in 20%. This prevalence appears to be even more significant, considering the patients' mean age, 26.9 +/- 2.3 years.
