    Link to article about Natalie that includes
    9 uses of the diabetes word without clari-
    fier, ironic in that she mentions the follow-
    ing in the article: "She still finds it frustrating
    that people confuse the two different kinds
    of diabetes." https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/i-devastated-diabetes-diagnosis-suffered-24556798

    Actually, see my sig below for details on the
    -7- Disparate High Glucose Conditions along
    with -1- mostly non-glucose anomaly that are
    all-too-often confusingly called diabetes with
    no clarifier (including, ironically, in this article
    -9- times).

    From the photo above, it appears Natalie is
    using a Dexcom G6 continuous glucose mon-
    itor and an Omnipod insulin pump.

    Natalie went into a long depression after she
    discovered she had Islit, going on anti-depres-
    sants to recover from that. She had a difficult
    period of time in adjusting to having Islit, not-
    ing her depression & experiencing mulitple
    adverse hypoglycemia events.

    At diagnosis, per the article which uses the
    European mmol/l term, her glucose level (in
    the manner in which Americans are used to
    seeing glucose levels) was over 718 mg/dl,
    extremetly dangerously high.

    Before being diagnosed, she lost 3.5 stone
    (1 stone = 14 pounds, so that's 49 pounds)
    down to a weight of 6 stone (84 pounds). At
    a height of 5' 7", that's a BMI of 13.2, scarily
    extremely thin, skin & bones.

    Before getting Islit, at a weight of 133 lbs,
    her BMI of 20.8 was very healthy within the
    average so-called 'normal' weight range of
    18.5 to 24.9.

    She appears to have adjusted after a few
    years, & provides consultation for the Islit
    role played by an actress on the Coronation
    Street TV show.

    The old confusing way which all-too-often
    involves folks using the diabetes / diabetic
    words without a clarifier:

    diabetes / diabetic without a clarifier,
    diabetes / diabetic guessing required https://prohuman.net/pix2/diabetesdiabeticguessinggame.jpg

    Logic and reasoning behind ceasing using
    diabetes & diabetic & reactive hypoglycemia
    words and phrases, replacing all that with
    vastly superior names, ending diabetes &
    diabetic & reactive hypoglycemia confusion,
    misleading, & misunderstanding:

    Disparate High Glucose Conditions,
    DHGCs, 7 disparate categories of
    unpreventability / nonreversibility
    of all-but-one of the specific types
    of DHGCs (thus far, research actively
    trying to change that):

    o 15 specific types of rapid-onset Insul-
    initis (Islit), unpreventable & nonrevers-
    ible (thus far), the overwhelming majority
    with Islit have Insulitis Islit (sometimes
    called type 1 diabetes, often confusingly
    called diabetes with no clarifier) https://prohuman.net/pix2/new_superior_clarifying_name_is_INSULINITIS.jpg

    14 specific types of Islit are not caused
    by Insulitis, present in a small minority
    of those with Islit.

    o 1 specific type of slow-onset Islit, Latent
    Autoimmune Islit, also unpreventable &
    nonreversible (thus far) (sometimes called
    latent autoimmune diabetes in adults, often
    confusingly called diabetes with no clarifier)

    o Preventable Cellosis is the only specific
    type of DHGC that is preventable & revers-
    ible (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

    PreCellosis (often confusingly called pre-
    diabetes with no clarifier) is the oft-times
    preventable & reversible Cellosis precondi-
    tion that all-too-often the overwhelming ma-
    jority having it are unaware they have it

    o 20 specific types of Cellosis, unpreven-
    table & nonreversible (thus far, sometimes
    called type 2 diabetes, all-too-often con-
    fusingly called diabetes with no clarifier)

    o 1 specific type of DHGC only occurring
    in the late stage of impregnation in women,
    a type that's transient but that increases
    risk of later getting Cellosis, that ...

    ... condition called Gestational Cellosis
    (sometimes called gestational diabetes,
    sometimes confusingly called diabetes with
    no clarifier).

    o 11 specific types of Diminosis (new name
    created in 2010 for a monogenic condition
    age 6 months that sometimes is called
    maturity onset diabetes of the young, some-
    times confusingly called diabetes with no
    clarifier), unpreventable & non-reversible
    (thus far).

    o 12 specific types of Neonatal Diminosis
    (new name created in 2010 for a monogenic
    condition at age < or = 6 months that some-
    times is called neonatal diabetes, sometimes
    confusingly called diabetes with no ...

    ... clarifier), 8 types are permanent & unpre-
    ventable & nonreversible (thus far); 4 specific
    types are transient but can recur.

    o 25 specific types of Ohiglucons (new name
    created in 2010 for other diabetes mellitus,
    but often confusingly called diabetes with
    no clarifier).

    23 specific types are totally unpreventable.

    Hemochromatosis Ohiglucon, is only preventa-
    ble if Hemochromatosis is found and treated
    before it damages the pancreas.

    Immunosuppressants Ohiglucon, caused after
    a transplant with the required use of immun-
    osuppressants, 50% is temporary, but if it
    persists for over a year, most likely the condi-
    tion is permanent.

    If endogenous insulin production is near-totally
    to totally lost & does not recover after immuno-
    suppressants dosages reduced, it causes Im-
    munosuppressants Islit.

    A mostly Non-Glucose Anomaly, Insipidus, it's
    also unpreventable & nonreversible (thus far):

    o 6 specific types of Insipidus (new name
    created in 2010 for diabetes insipidus, some-
    times confusingly called diabetes with no clar-
    ifier), 4 specific types don't include high glucose
    & are unpreventable & nonreversible (thus far),
    2 specific rare types do include high glucose &
    are unpreventable & nonreversible (thus far).

    The following condition is apart from the
    diabetes confusion problem, but has confu-
    sion issues of its own.

    A Low Glucose Condition, Hut:

    o The 21 specific types of Hut (new name
    created in 2010 for Hypoglycemia Uncaused
    by Treatments for High Glucose, often con-
    fusingly called reactive hypoglycemia, con-
    fusing in that it does not occur as a reac-
    tion to treatment for High Glucose; one ...

    ... form sometimes called hyperinsulinism),
    some specific types are preventable & rever-
    sible, some aren't (thus far).
