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.

What process is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane?
The process of water passing through a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis. Water will move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration in order to equalize the solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
How do you spell osmosis?
The correct spelling of "osmosis" is O-S-M-O-S-I-S.
Is ATP needed for osmosis?
No, ATP is not needed for osmosis. Osmosis is a passive process that occurs due to the concentration gradient of solutes across a semi-permeable membrane. ATP is required for active transport processes, not osmosis.
