Step-by-step explanation:

In diabetes insipidus, your blood glucose levels are normal, but your kidneys can't properly concentrate urine.

Answer:

In diabetes mellitus, the level of glucose in your blood, also called blood sugar, is too high. Your kidneys try to remove the extra glucose by passing it in your urine. In diabetes insipidus, your blood glucose levels are normal, but your kidneys can't properly concentrate urine.
