Morphology
ketosis-resistant + diabetes
The phrase literally combines 'ketosis' + 'resistant' with 'diabetes' to mean a form of diabetes that is resistant to or not typically accompanied by ketosis. This is a regular compositional pattern (adjective/compound modifying a disease) so the overall sense is predictable from the constituents. Although medical, the meaning is derivable if a learner knows the component words.
Etymology
Ketosis-resistant diabetes is a medical name for a kind of diabetes that does not go into ketosis. Think of ketosis as when the body burns fat and makes 'ketones', and resistant shows it usually avoids that state, so the condition stays milder and can often be controlled by diet or pills rather than insulin.
