diabetes mellitus 11
It is a hormonal imbalance that prevents the body from assimilating glucose, which leads to a high level of sugar in the blood. Two of its symptoms are excessive urination and sweet-tasting urine, and that is why this disease is known as diabetes (from the Latin with Greek origin for "with a continuous flow of water") and mellitus (also Latin from the Greek for "with a taste of honey"). See diabetes insipidus.
