Morphology
The meaning is directly and predictably composed from 'diabetic' (related to diabetes) + 'diet' (a planned way of eating): a diet intended for people with diabetes to control blood sugar. This adjective+noun composition follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words will almost certainly infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Diabetic diet comes from giving people with diabetes a special diet, a food plan doctors made to limit sugar and foods like white bread and sweets. So, it means a way of eating to 'control blood sugar' and help manage diabetes.
