Root Explanation

Diabetogenic is formed from "diabetes" (from Greek "sūzēn", meaning to pass through) and "-genic" (from Greek "genes", meaning produced by or causing). The term refers to something that causes or produces diabetes.

Memory Tip

Think of 'diabetes' as something that makes you 'pass through' sugar in your body, and '-genic' means it causes something. So, diabetogenic refers to something that causes diabetes.
