Morphology
ketoacidosis-prone + diabetes
This is a specialized medical compound built from the technical term 'ketoacidosis' plus 'prone' and 'diabetes.' An average B1 learner who knows 'diabetes' (and perhaps 'prone') will not be able to infer the specific clinical meaning because 'ketoacidosis' is a specialist term and the phrase requires domain knowledge rather than straightforward compositional interpretation.
Etymology
Ketoacidosis-prone diabetes names a type of diabetes that is prone ('likely') to develop ketoacidosis ('a build-up of acids called ketones'). So, the phrase means a form of diabetes that often causes this acid build-up and needs careful diet and insulin to control.
