Diabetes mellitus type 2 can lead to hyponatremia secondary to diabetic nephropathy. This occurs as diabetes causes impaired insulin production and peripheral resistance to insulin, resulting in hyperglycemia. Over time, high blood glucose can damage the kidneys and lead to diabetic nephropathy, characterized by proteinuria and thickening of the glomerulus. This nephropathy causes dilution of sodium in the extracellular fluid and increased extracellular fluid concentration, resulting in hyponatremia.
