Etymology
The word diabetes comes from the Greek verb diabainein meaning 'to pass through', and the prefix dia- means 'through', as in dialogue. This image fits the illness because people with diabetes often pass a lot of water as urine and feel very thirsty. Doctors long ago also called it diabetes mellitus, adding mellitus ('honey-sweet') because they noticed sweet urine.
