🇬🇧 Diabetic meaning: English Vocabulary Flash Card

Diabetic means something or someone that has diabetes, which is a health condition where the body can’t control sugar in the blood very well. A diabetic person needs to be extra careful about what they eat and drink, how much sugar they have, and sometimes they need medicine or insulin to help their body.
