Morphology
ketosis-resistant + diabetes + mellitus
The phrase straightforwardly combines 'ketosis' + 'resistant' with 'diabetes mellitus' to indicate a form of diabetes that does not produce or is resistant to ketosis, so the overall meaning is compositional. Although medical and low-frequency, the morphology and semantic combination are regular, so a learner who knows the constituent words can infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Ketosis-resistant diabetes mellitus is a medical name that points to a type of diabetes that is resistant to ketosis, the state when the body makes many ketones (strong chemicals made when there is not enough insulin). So, the name helps you remember that this form is often milder and can usually be controlled with 'diet and pills' rather than 'insulin'.
