DR. LAWRENCE E. LAMB
Two different
diabetes diseases
By Lawrence Lamb, M.D.
Dear Dr. Lamb — Can you
give me any information on
water diabetes. I never heard
of it until recently (I have
the regular diabetes) and I
am very interested. Does it
require the same diet as the
regular diabetes or a differ
ent one?
Dear Reader — It’s an en
tirely different disease from
“sugar diabetes.” The kind
of diabetes I presume you
have is related to insufficent
insulin in the pancreas and
a high level of blood sugar.
The usual diabetic, unless
the disease is controlled,
loses a lot of sugar in the
urine. To flush out this ex
cess sugar the person will
pass a lot of water. To re
place the water loss he has
to drink a lot of water. Thus
the typical uncontrolled
diabetic, whose disease is
sufficently advanced, drinks
lots of water and passes
large volumes of urine
frequently. These two char
acteristics are similar to wa
ter diabetes.
The person with water
diabetes has a defect in a
portion of the pituitary gland
that rests just beneath the
brain. The gland normally
produces hormone which pre
vents too much water from
being passed by the kidneys.
If insufficient amounts of this
hormone are produced, then
the usual control to prevent
passing too much water from
the kidney is lost. So individ
uals with this defect will pass
large volumes of urine fre
quently. They will also re
place their water loss by
drinking large amounts of
water. The similarity to
“sugar diabetes” ends there
since it is not related to
sugar in any way. As you
would expect from the above

explanation, these individ
uals do not have to go on a
diabetic diet in terms of
carbohydrate control nor are
they helped with insulin or
any other such medicines
commonly used in patients
with sugar diabetes. Usually
they are given medications
that will help the kidney con
trol the water output.

Here is an interesting
problem. There has been a
lot of publicity in recent
years about the dyslexic
child, who has difficulty in
reading and writing. There is
an opposite disorder, the hy
perlexic child. These children
are compulsive readers and
are able to read without ever
being taught to do so. Two
year-old youngsters reading
voluminous material have
been reported. Despite their
great facility in reading with
out being instructed, they
are retarded and are said to
have brain damage. They
don’t just read children’s
books. They read newspapers
and novels. How in the world
do they ever develop this
super capacity to read with
out instruction? Do they in
herit their reading capacity?
All of this suggests that there
may be more to inherited
knowledge than has been
suspected. It’s a very rare
disorder, but in away it’s re
freshing. It’s good to know
that there are still a lot of
interesting facets of life to
be solved.
