means A chronic condition in which your body can't properly regulate blood sugar, either because it doesn't make enough insulin or your cells stop responding to it.

from From Greek diabainein, 'to pass through' or 'siphon' — ancient physicians named it for the excessive urination that marks the disease, imagining the body as a tube the water just ran through. The 'mellitus' (honey-sweet) part came later, once someone literally tasted the sugar in a patient's urine and confirmed what the Greeks had only described as passing.
