[wikipedia] Diabetes mellitus (DM) also known as simply diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases

You are not in good health / healthy in the manor meant in this thread and OA. You might eat healthy, exercise, whatever but you still suffer from a disease that healthy people do not.



Wow, I never thought that I wasn't healthy. I guess using a literal dictionary definition points to the fact that I'm not. How depressing.


Rejoice, you now know the same definition that nearly everyone else knows (rather than your far less useful personal make-believe definition). No longer will you have trouble communicating the state of your health or comprehension issues understanding other's. Bonus Cup! You are now less ignorant.


That's a pretty rude way to put it. Someday when you aren't "healthy" I hope someone makes a comment like this to you.
