Italian word
diabete
diabetes
Looks like
diabetes
same
⚠️ The trap
Same meaning, but notice the form: Italian 'diabete' (no -s at the end). 'Diabete di tipo 1/2' mirrors English. The adjective is 'diabetico/a'. Learners sometimes add an -s by analogy with English: 'il diabete' not 'il diabetes'.
To say "same" in Italian:
diabete (correct)
"diabete" in English means:
diabetes
Example
"Il diabete di tipo 2 è spesso collegato allo stile di vita."
"Type 2 diabetes is often linked to lifestyle."
