How to pronounce diabetic?

My husband is diabetic, and I often refer to his condition. I just want to confirm I'm pronouncing the word correctly. How do you say 'diabetic'?

It's pronounced 'dahy-uh-beht-ik'. If you're asking because someone is diabetic, remember that diet control is paramount. Many vegetarian options are good, but portion control and sugar content are key.

Haan na, 'dahy-uh-beht-ik' is the right way. My uncle calls himself 'sugar ka patient', but 'diabetic' is the proper term. It's good to be accurate.

Hello! The correct pronunciation is 'dahy-uh-beht-ik'. It's a common term in healthcare discussions, so clear communication is important. Hope this helps you out!

Oh, so it's 'dahy-uh-beht-ik'? I always thought it was 'dye-uh-beet-ik'. Good to learn something new today, thanks for asking this!

It is 'dahy-uh-beht-ik'. My grandmother used to say, control your sugar from young age only. Nowadays, everyone has this. Always listen to the doctor for treatment, they know best.
