What is diabetic?

Slang term: Diabetic is a slang term for someone with diabetes mellitus (DM). DM is derived from Greek/Latin root words meaning sweet runs through you, based on the fact that excess sugar ends up in the urine. People who loose the ability to make insulin or whose insulin fails to maintain proper sugar blood levels are diabetic.
