Commonly found in brown Bears, but in recent years the discovery was made that Diabetes lives in humans commonly named Isaiah. Without treatment, you could become a raging alcoholic.

Diabetes Mellitus, usually known simply as diabetes and sometimes "diabeetus" thanks to Wilford Brimley (R.I.P), is an unfortunately common disorder where the pancreas gets overworked so much that it pretty much calls it quits. The result? Your body no longer has a natural source of insulin. The most common cause is eating like you have free healthcare, which we've all been guilty of at some point.
Before the 1920s rolled around, having diabetes was a death sentence; insulin had not been discovered yet, and the disease would ultimately take you no matter what you did. But since the discovery of insulin, people with diabetes are no longer dead men walking. But managing it is definitely no walk in the park: Insulin is not only very expensive, it's rather painful to put into your body. And you have to do it multiple times a day. It also requires a complete change in your lifestyle (especially your diet), which some people may not take very well. Did we mention that there's 2 types of it as well?
It's commonly associated with Americans due to stereotypes (which are admittedly not far from the truth), although that's not to say it doesn't occur in other places of the world, too. A person who suffers from diabetes is called a "diabetic." Diabetes is incurable.

An auto-immune disease that makes your pancreas shut down. You need insulin intake when you eat carby foods like bread or pasta. Diabetes Mellitus is caused by your immune system thinking that the pancreas is a bad organ thus killing your pancreas and you become man made ins dependent. If you do keep your blood sugar in control you can die from diabetic ketoacidosis

Diabetes is an illness that limits or entirely stops the production of insulin in your pancreas. There are two types of diabetes ; these are type one and type two. Type one diabetes is mainly genetic and halts insulin production. Type two diabetes is seen mainly due to being overweight. Diabetes is not a joke and should be taken very seriously. Insulin is a natural chemical produced by the body that regulates blood sugar levels.
Doctor: Im sorry but you have type one diabetes
Me: Now I know what that means due to this urban dictionary page!
Guy 1: Youre diabetic? doesnt that mean that you cant eat sugar?
Me: Actually we can eat sugar its just that we have to carb ourselves for it
Guy 2: YOU HAVE DIABETES? GET AWAY FROM ME I DONT WANNA CATCH THAT!
Me: Diabetes isn't contagious but Im still gonna stay away from YOU.
