Can diabetes insipidus caused by drinking too much water?

A person with diabetes insipidus may urinate three liters or more per day, compared to the average of one to two liters. Patients frequently need to urinate in the middle of the night. These individuals are in danger of dehydration because they are losing a lot of water in their urine. Diabetic insipidus patients have excessive thirst and drink more water.
