Riva says "I’ve lived with [Islit, Insulinitis,
near-total to total loss of endogenous
insulin, and despite the 1st post about
Riva that I made in 2010 -see below- in
which she advocated for new names for
the 7 Disparate High Glucose Conditions, ...
... actually only calling for new names for
'type 1 diabetes' & 'type 2 diabetes', she
still calls it 'type 1 diabetes (T1D)' or calls
it 'diabetes' with no clarifier] for 49 years,
and this past year the ground feels a bit
shakier under my feet.
I have discovered a second truth about liv-
ing with Islit." [see article for details regard-
ing some consequences of her dealing with
Islit and some other health conditions for al-
most 50 years]
The following article says she got Islit at
age 18 in 1972, so in June 2021 she was
almost 68 years young, & likely has turned
68 by now. She got it 11 years after I got it
at age 5 in March 1961. I recently turned 66
years young.

... Diabetes educator Riva Greenberg has repeat-
edly advocated for a name change, hoping that
greater recognition will lead to more stem cell
research.
“When the two types are lumped together, it’s
hard for organizations committed to finding a
cure to Type 1 to really get funded,” said Green-
berg ...

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 its slow
onset and its 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Old outdated anachronistic name for Islit is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 condition which is 1 of the 7 Disparate
High Glucose Conditions (DHGCs).
That makes figuring out which DHGC is actu-
ally being referred to (and it can be any one,
or some, or all of them when the diabetes
or diabetic word is used without clarifier)
confusing / difficult:

It's estimated that 5% to 11% of Islit individuals
will die from severe hypoglycemia, the highest
risk of that being while sleeping (i.e., dead-in-
bed syndrome).
