    Polyuria and polydipsia are symptoms of diabetes. In polyuria, the individual experiences abnormal large amount of urine while in polydipsia the individual has excessive thirst and desire for water.

    The person with Polyuria excretes excessive large amount of dilute urine that's why the specific gravity is lower. But the person with polydipsia has a higher specific gravity because their urine is concentrated.
