“diabetes mellitus”
.
-“diabetes” is rooted in the greek word for “flowing through”-
(a reference to “frequent urination” caused by diabetes)
-kidneys “clean” the bloodstream + removes waste-
-the kidneys [filter/re-absorb/produce] glucose-
-when there is too much glucose in the bloodstream, the kidneys will try to flush it out via “urination”-
-which leads to dehydration when excess water is required for expulsion of the “excess glucose”-
.
-“mellitus” is a reference to “sweets”-
-a [calorie-dense] food-
-which leads to excess glucose in bloodstream-
-so that the pancreas has to work harder to create insulin to level off “blood sugar levels”-
.
(there are 3 main types of “diabetes mellitus”…)
