Diabetes Dictionary
This dictionary defines words that are often used when people
talk or write about diabetes. It is designed for people who have diabetes and
for their families and friends.
The words are listed in alphabetical order. Some words have many meanings;
only those meanings that relate to diabetes are included. Words that appear in
bold italic are defined elsewhere in the dictionary. A term will refer the reader
to another definition only when the second definition gives additional information
about a topic that is directly related to the first term.
