Morphology
The meaning 'a form of diabetes that develops in children or young adults' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'juvenile' (relating to young people) with 'diabetes' (a blood-sugar disorder). This compositional, descriptive formation is cross-linguistically common in medical terminology and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Juvenile diabetes combines juvenile (meaning 'young') and diabetes (the illness that makes blood sugar too high). Doctors used this name to show the type 'starts in children or young people', so it means diabetes that begins when someone is young.
