What is another word for diabetics?

Pronunciation: [dˌa͡ɪəbˈɛtɪks] (IPA)

Diabetes is a medical condition that affects a person's ability to control their blood sugar levels. People living with diabetes are often referred to as "diabetics". However, there are many other terms and phrases that can be used instead of "diabetics". For example, "people with diabetes" or "individuals with diabetes" are more person-first language options that place the emphasis on the person rather than the condition. Other options include "diabetes sufferers", "diabetes patients", "people living with diabetes", and "those with diabetes". It's important to consider the language we use when referring to people with diabetes and choose terminology that is respectful, inclusive, and accurate.
