Greetings!

Diabetes insipidus is unrelated to what is commonly known as diabetes (mellitus). Here are a couple of sites that might give you more information:

Medline plus: Diabetes insipidus

Diabetes Insipidus Foundation Inc.

MayoClinic.com: Diabetes Insipidus

Regarding the side effects of the drug, desmomelt, here is a site (headaches are a side effect):

If the headaches are severe, I would strongly recommend your partner returning to the doctor. I suffer from migraines and any medication that increases my headaches, I always search for an alternative.

Hope this helps!

Many Blessings,
