The following article promotes use of the
Omnipod DASH tubeless insulin pump,
excerpts along with comments from yours
truly based on my over 60 years with Islit
(Insulinitis, near-total to total loss of endo-
genous insulin) and my use of an Omnipod ...

... insulin pump (except for a short period
when I lost my insurance) since January
2014:

... 7.4 million Americans ... require exogen-
ous insulin. About 323 million Americans
(every American who doesn't use exogen-
ous insulin) have insulin supplied by their
pancreases, automatically, though about
25 million Americans have problematic ...

... endogenous insulin & have to use some
oral or injected medication to help them low-
er their glucose levels due to their having 1
of 6 non-Islit Disparate High Glucose Condi-
tions.

... The main benefit of the Omnipod DASH is
freedom. Multiple daily injections and tubed
insulin pumps can often get in the way of acti-
vities. With tubed pumps, pump users must
disconnect them to swim and they can be
cumbersome to clip on shorts, a bathing suit ...

... or summer dress. Stopping activities to give
an insulin injection can also be disruptive.

“It was a game changer for me when I switched
from injections to Omnipod — just having more
freedom and flexibility allows me to be more
spontaneous,” said Meg Cremins, Omnipod
DASH user, influencer and sponsored spokes-
person.

Meg has had Islit for 22 years, and will have it
until a cure is developed or a future version is
so advanced that automatic glucose-awareness
of exogenous insulin needed resembles the auto-
matic glucose awareness of fully functional pan-
creases, in essence being a near-cure for Islit.

... The majority of Omnipod DASH users pay less
than $50/mo. copay through the pharmacy. Myself,
I pay $125 every 3 months + what I pay for Fiasp
insulin (I'd have to look that up) -until- I've reached
the Medicare 'donut hole'. Recently, I had to pay
over $550 for a 3 month supply of Omnipods ...

... (over $180 per month) due to being in the Med-
icare 'donut hole'.

Later this year or early next year, a new Omnipod
integrated with a Dexcom G6 continuous glucose
monitor will facilitate automatic basal dosaging
based on actual glucose levels. Integration with
a Dexcom G7 CGM and an Abbott Freestyle
Libre 3 CGM may be approved / available some-
time in 2022.

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:

Logic and reasoning behind ceasing using
confusing / misleading / misinforming diabetes
& diabetic & reactive hypoglycemia words and
phrases, replacing all of that with vastly superior
clarifying names:
