ancient greek, diabetes mellitus means something like, "one who strides with honey" because of the sugar expelled in urine. not sure about insipidus though, sorry.

I don't know exactly of the origin, you check on wikipedia or something, but I know the difference between the two diabetes. Diabetes Mellitus means something sweet, not enough insulin, and elevated glucose levels. This is what people normally talk about, Diabetes 1 and 2. On the other hand, diabetes insipidus is when you're lacking water, the water is leaving your body very very quickly. A person usually needs to pee at a lot, and is very thirsty because the body is trying to stay hydrated. I don't know if I helped much, but I don't know much about the origins besides "mellitus" meaning something sweet, honey basically.
