diabesity
n.— «As a specialist in diabetes, Mastbaum may be more likely than some doctors to see heavier patients.

For that condition, Mastbaum and his medical colleagues have coined another term—”diabesity.”» —“State’s obesity angers physician” by Rosa Salter Journal Gazette (Fort Wayne, Ind.) Nov. 14, 2004.
