Insulinitis (Islit, near-total to total loss of
endogenous insulin), how many Americans
have Islit? https://www.google.com/search?q=how+many+Americans+have+type+1+diabetes%3F&oq=how+many+Americans+have+type+1+diabetes

Some 1.6 million Americans are living with
T1D, including about 200,000 youth (less
than 20 years old) and 1.4 million adults (20
years old and older). 64,000 people are diag-
nosed each year in the U.S.

Current U.S. population as of 4:30 PM central
time on June 23 2022:
332,810,800

So, statistically, 1 in 208 people have Islit, and
1 in 5,200 Americans are diagnosed with Islit
each year.

Recently, in another newsgroup, I did a detailed
analysis of "What are the odds that Selena Gomez
& her former boyfriend Justin Bieber would both
be diagnosed with rare disorders?"

Like Selena Gomez's bipolar disorder, over 99%
*don't have bipolar disorder* and over 99% *don't
have Islit*, but I was struck by the rarity of the 2
other conditions that Selena & her former long-
time boyfriend have been diagnosed with, as de-
tailed below.

Life, a mysterious adventure, fame (which in
most cases is associated with wealth & gen-
erally thought of as a positive thing, although
often it doesn't turn out happily), 2 famous
superstars who dated on and off for close to
9 years, both diagnosed with rare disorders.

Fame, a rare thing. Rare disorders, infrequent
and unwelcome. The following, shocking, the
combination of on-off finding love with ano-
ther famous person & being stricken with 2
dissimilar rare disorders & 1 disorder not as
rare but over 99% don't have it.

Key word in that question, -both-, combining
the odds that Justin would be diagnosed with
Ramsey Hunt Syndrome (1 in 20,000) times
the odds that Selena Gomez would be diag-
nosed with Lupus (1 in 1,600), also multiply-
ing the odds that Selena would be diagnosed
with bipolar disorder (1 in 120):

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
1 in *** 3 billion 840 million ***.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

As the saying goes, life's a bitch and then you
die. I know, that's a simplistic glass half empty
statement, and in actuality, life's an up-and-
down adventure with an ongoing struggle ver-
sus the inescapable downsides, some having
more & worse struggles than others.

Everyone in Ukraine, for example, right now,
struggling to try to stay alive, quality of life
drastically diminished due to the idiocy /
madness of a single tyrannical dictator,
Vladimir Putin.
