Diabetes mellitus will tend to lower the water potential of blood, because the concentration of solutes, including glucose, increases in diabetics. Diabetics thus tend to micturate (urinate) heavily, losing even more water, in a positive feedback cycle that can only be remedied through excessive ingestion of fluids (i.e., continuous hydration).
