• Omnipod 5 Controller Death

    From _@21:1/5 to All on Wed Dec 14 12:43:24 2022
    Yesterday morning, when trying to replace
    my Omnipod via an insertion, my Omnipod
    Controller said

    More than one Pod found

    Move away from other Pods and
    try again.

    ---

    I did that, placing my old Pod in the freezer,
    and tried again. I got the same message and
    I tried & tried & tried again, but kept getting
    the same message.

    So, I gave up and tried another new Pod after
    placing the Pod that wasn't activating in the
    freezer with the other old Pod.

    ---

    Once again, I got the same incorrect message:

    More than one Pod found

    Move away from other Pods and
    try again.

    So, after trying again & again & again, I called
    Omnipod & after a rather lengthy conversation,
    I was told I needed a new Omnipod 5 Controller.
    They shipped it overnight along with 2 Pods to
    replace the 2 that wouldn't activate, just got
    them so I'll be activating my new Controller &
    Pod after writing this message.

    Fortunately, I had 2-years-old NPH insulin in
    my refrigerator & 30 or so insulin syringes,
    so I've been using that & Fiasp insulin injec-
    tions since yesterday & have been successful
    in keeping my glucose level normal during that
    time.

    Don't now hold long I'll be

    Follow-up:

    This happened again & by searching for the
    manner in which some have dealt with this
    issue, I was able to figure out a way to deal
    with this without having to get a new control
    device.

    Also, I've decided that I no longer will allow
    the pod to expire after 80 hours (for those
    who don't know, the 72 hour expiration is
    untrue, it's actually 80 hours), but instead
    have decided that to avoid getting the more
    than one pod found error, I will press the ...

    ... Change Pod button before it hits the 80
    hour mark (15 minutes or so before). I've
    done that the last 2 times and have avoided
    getting the annoying & inaccurate more than
    one pod found error message.

    Don't now hold long I'll be able to use expired
    NPH insulin, but hey, I suppose I'll keep using
    it 'til it shows itself to be no longer working.

    Frustrating? Yes, but as always, I'm thankful
    that the Omnipod 5 folks responded appro-
    priately & I will be back to my normal Omni-
    pod 5 modus operandi shortly.

    I went ahead & set my new Omnipod con-
    troller up & activated a new pod at 2:42 pm.

    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/EBejqoJQA.QAJ

    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/MlI8I6PzAA.AJ

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

    - - -

    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
