Diabetes insipidus is characterized by frequent urination of large amounts of dilute urine. It is caused by either a reduced production of anti-diuretic hormone by the hypothalmus, or a reduction in the sensitivity of the kidneys to anti-diuretic hormone. Diabetes insipidus generally results in dehydration and an imbalance of electrolytes in the bloodstream (most concerning being sodium and potassium).
Diabetes is when a person can not produce enough insulin to monitor the glucose that comes from food and is a hormone in their pancreas. A doctor would be able to answer your questions more accurately.

What is the disease caused due to failure of ADH secretion?
Diabetes insipidus
What disease can result from antidiuretic hormone deficiency?
Low levels of ADH can cause excessive urination (polyuria) followed by extreme thirst (polydipsia). A rare water metabolism disorder, called central diabetes insipidus, is sometimes the cause of ADH deficiency but low ADH doesn't not cause diabetes insipidus.

What causes hypo-secretion of ADH?
Hypo-secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) can be caused by conditions such as diabetes insipidus, which may be due to damage to the hypothalamus or pituitary gland, leading to decreased production or release of ADH. Other causes could include tumors, head injuries, or certain medications affecting the function of the pituitary gland.
