First, learn to say "I am not a diabetic." Because of having the word "Diabetes" in the name, everyone (I am not exaggerating) assumes that you have diabetes mellitus. Next, do some research and make sure you can explain what DI is and how it is completely different from Diabetes mellitus. Find an endocrinologist who knows DI very well (you will constantly be educating lesser versed medical staff what DI is and how it affects you). Try not to be irritated when medical professionals ask about your insulin levels and gently remind them that you do not have diabetes mellitus, and that Diabetes Insipidus has NOTHING to do with insulin. Educate them on the differences between DM and DI. Make sure they understand you are NOT a diabetic!
ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY: make sure you have talked to ALL the Dr.s and nurses helping you and that they understand you DO NOT NEED INSULIN! Check and double check before going into surgery that they do not put a diabetic sticker on your chart! I had surgery a couple years ago and the nurse checking me in said that they had put a diabetic sticker on my chart by mistake... I am thankful he caught the mistake. Somewhere, someone made a clerical error and it could have greatly impacted my health for the negative. You are your best advocate! Make sure anyone cutting you open understands that you are NOT a diabetic! ;)
Once more, say it with me: " I am NOT a diabetic!"
