Yeah in diabetes a patient can have hyponatremia but usually thats Diabetic KetoAcidosis which can cause hyponatremia and that's per se pseudoHyponatremia . If your brother has been admitted with symptomatic hyponatremia then it's less likely that it's just because of diabetes . It's imp to look for all causes of it and rule them out . For more advice , kindly consult me on practo

Very high blood Glucose levels can cause pseudohyponatremia. It per se doesn't cause true hyponatremia.
