Islit - Insulinitis, near-total to total loss
of endogenous insulin.
3 weeks after her diagnosis, she went
to the Olympic trials & qualified for a
Team USA alternate.

A photo shows her wearing a Dexcom
insertion on her arm, but Dexcom recom-
mends the insertion be done on the abdo-
men.
Myself, having a lot of Dexcom problems
recently, my last insertion only lasting 4
days 'til it had 6 hours of errors/incorrect
low indications when glucose was much
higher, so I got Dexcom to send me a free
replacement.
I may have to stop using the Dexcom G6
CGM if these problems I've been having
recently continue. Oh well, using it since
October 2013, it was great while it lasted
but for reasons unknown I've been having
a lot of problems lately.
Ironic, I read about a way to extend the
sensor beyond 10 days, but after that,
none of my sensors has even lasted 10
days so I haven't been able to even try
an extension. Oh well, such is life (bad
karma caused by reading about & plan-
ning to try extension beyond 10 days?).
Charlotte, the article doesn't say how she
doses insulin & doesn't mention hypogly-
cemia which it's highly likely she's had to
deal with since she began dosing exogen-
ous insulin (the following quote indicates
how she is prepared to deal with hypos).
Quote from Charlotte at the following link,
about her diagnosis & how she dealt with
Islit immediately thereafter:

"Just 3 months later, I dropped 9 points off
my A1c (not to mention learned what an a1c
even was) became someone who carries a
backpack full of juice boxes everywhere I go
and in a few days, I’ll be heading to Tokyo on
the Olympic team. ..."

INSULINITIS (ISLIT)
New SUPERIOR clarifying name for near-
total to total loss of endogenous insulin
https://prohuman.net/pix2/new_superior_clarifying_name_is_INSULINITIS.jpg
The overwhelming majority of Islit caused
by autoimmune attacks on pancreatic beta
cells (Insulitis Islit) but there are
o 15 specific types of rapid onset Islit, a
rare condition (only present in < one-half
of 1% of Americans & in a much lower rate
in most of the world), when present is typ-
ically diagnosed at age under 30
(50% at age < 18, 20% at age 19 to 29)
o 1 slow onset specific type, Latent Auto-
immune Islit, frequency unknown but per
a recent report, misdiagnosed as Cellosis
(new clarifying name for type 2 diabetes)
almost 40% of the time due to slow onset
& occurrence typically at age over 30
Old outdated anachronistic name for Islit is
type 1 diabetes, confusing in that diabetes
without clarifier is often used to describe this
& the other 6 Disparate High Glucose Con-
ditions (DHGCs).
That makes figuring out which DHGC is actu-
ally being referred to (& it can be any 1, some,
or all of them when diabetes or diabetic word
used without clarifier) confusing / difficult:

Recent estimate that 20 million have Islit in the
world, 1 in 394 (2.583/10ths of 1%), less than
5% of the almost 470 million in the world who
have any of the 7 DHGCs, 95% having Cellosis
(see below for causalities):

Notably, one's relatives and one's birthplace
dramatically impact one's risk of getting the
Insulitis-caused Islit, as listed in details of all
15 specific types of rapid-onset Islit & the sole
specific type of slow onset Latent Autoimmune

o Preventable Cellosis is the only specific
type of Disparate High Glucose Condition
that is preventable & reversible (in many,
sometimes it's called type 2 diabetes, often
confusingly called diabetes with no clarifier)
Risk for Preventable Cellosis, Hypertension,
& Cardiovascular Disease increases as one's
weight increases but BMI risk increases at
lower BMI levels in non-white individuals:

https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-05-bmi-offs-obesity-diabetes-non-white.html
o PreCellosis (often confusingly called predia-
betes with no clarifier) is the oft-times preven-
table & reversible Cellosis precondition that all-
too-often the overwhelming majority having it
are unaware they have it (almost 3 times more
have PreCellosis than have Cellosis).
o 20 specific types of Cellosis, unpreventable
& nonreversible (thus far, sometimes called
type 2 diabetes, all-too-often confusingly called
diabetes with no clarifier)
Per the following article, 5.3% with Cellosis
used exogenous insulin in 2019.

o 4 other Disparate High Glucose Conditions
exist (Gestational Cellosis, Diminosis, Neonatal
Diminosis, Ohiglucons), all 7 DHGCs fully des-
cribed in the following article:

confusing / misleading / misinforming diabetes
