I'm not positive but, a doctor would likely get a blood sample to determine your levels of Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) an insufficient amount of ADH is what causes the symptoms of DI. Also, patients with DI typically urinate around 40 Liters a day

Diabetes insipidus is due to the kidney not being able to concentrate urine. The cardinal symptom is increased urination but patients often do not notice this. Other symptoms can include dehydration, dizziness, cramps, fatigue and confusion. On laboratory testing a high serum sodium is usually found.

Well you're always thirsty for cold water, and end up peeing more than usual. The urine produced is usually pale urine (dilute). Getting a urinalysis is how its usually diagnosed.

Symptoms such as rapid weight loss, excessive thirst, hunger, and urination may point to Type I Diabetes. A blood sugar test will determine whether or not you actually have it.
