Diabetes is a word in the Latin language that means "increased urine output".The word mellitus is Latin for "honey". The two together are increased output of sugary urine. When blood sugar reaches a high enough concentration the kidneys excrete the excess, and the glucose shows up in the patients urine. Because of osmostic pressure, water follows the flow of glucose into the urine and much more urine than is normal is produced. Other by-products of diabetes also enter the urine such as; ketone bodies which are by-products of a diabetics inability to synthesis and store fats properly. As these enter the urine, water again follows. Because of a high urine output, there is less water in the blood. It is therefore important for a diabetic patient to maintain a good water balance.
