a touch of sugar
Used to refer to diabetes: The doctor tells me I've got a touch of sugar.
Contributor's comments: I have heard Aboriginal people in the Wentworth-Dareton area (far SW NSW) use 'the sugar' for diabetes (without the word 'touch'). Typical conversation: 'Heard you were in hospital. What's the problem?' 'Oh it's the sugar, love.'
