Beetus is a casual, slightly jokey slang shortening of 'diabetes', often used in internet culture and meme contexts. The term became widespread through memes and online humour, particularly jokes about unhealthy eating habits and the kinds of foods that feel dangerously indulgent. While it can be used affectionately by people with diabetes themselves, it can also veer into mockery of dietary choices. The word is firmly internet-native slang and has a self-deprecating, ironic quality in most uses.
He finished the entire triple-layer cheesecake alone and joked that he could feel the beetus setting in.
