• Trampoline gymnast Charlotte Drury diagnosed with Islit in March 2021

    From _@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jul 18 08:23:37 2021
    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. https://www.today.com/health/team-usa-s-charlotte-drury-reflects-olympic-journey-after-recent-t225845

    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: https://www.instagram.com/p/CRXG2kphTbP/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=71e6d8cf-50cc-4696-baf0-44f8edf14ab1

    "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: https://prohuman.net/pix2/diabetesdiabeticguessinggame.jpg https://prohuman.net/pix2/diabetesdiabeticconfusion.jpg https://prohuman.net/pix2/diabetesdiabeticendingthemisunderstanding.jpg

    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): https://groups.google.com/g/misc.health.diabetes/c/58ZoHZEZ51w/m/EBejqoJQAQAJ

    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
    Islit at https://groups.google.com/g/misc.health.diabetes/c/aOsrugeqYqs/m/MlI8I6PzAAAJ

    Stop Diabetes/Diabetic Confusion
    with New Superior Clarifying Terms https://www.change.org/stopdiabetesdiabeticconfusionwithNewSuperiorClarifyingTerms

    - - -

    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://prohuman.net/pix2/BMI-WaistCircumference-Cellosis&Hypertension&CardiovascularDisease-Risk.jpg
    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. https://www.bloomberg.com/press-releases/2019-12-13/tandem-diabetes-care-announces-fda-clearance-of-the-t-slim-x2-insulin-pump-with-control-iq-advanced-hybrid-closed-loop

    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
    & diabetic & reactive hypoglycemia words and
    phrases, replacing all of that with vastly superior
    clarifying names:
