I saw my doctor recently & he asked me
my opinion about using this. I said it was
perhaps slightly better than before, but
I'm getting an HbA1c test tomorrow & I'll
report back on what that result is & that
will impact what my actual opinion is.
One disappointment, the propensity for
the device to turn off basal dosages when
the glucose level is in the 150 mg/dl area.
Why the device does that? I have no idea.
A problem often transpires when I switch
to manual mode to turn on basal dosages
& I forget I switched to manual mode & go
to bed. That sets up a risk of the glucose
going too low & as the insulin pump con-
trol device just has a tiny Manual word ...
... to indicate it's in Manual mode rather
than Automatic mode, it's easy to forget
that's happening when I awake during
sleep. They need to alert that that's hap-
pening by displaying an easily recogniz-
able color with reverse lettering at the top.
Anyway, last almost 4 weeks (Sep 22 to Oct 18 2022)
I show
AGP Graphic Almost 4 Weeks (Sep 22 to Oct 18 2022) https://prohuman.net/pix2/AGP-Graphic-4Weeks-Sep22toOct18-2022.jpg
o 3% above 180 mg/dl
o 94% 70 to 180 mg/dl
o 3% below 70 mg/dl
GMI 6.1 (glucose management indicator theo-
retically represents average glucose level that
is purported to correspond to HbA1c but in the
past, I've found this average is quite a bit higher
than what my actual HbA1c is)
Average 118 mg/dl
Standard Deviation 28 mg/dl
Coefficient of Variation 23.5%
Median 115 mg/dl
Daily insulin dose 27.2 units
Basal/Day 13.3 units (49%)
Bolus/Day 13.9 units (51%)
Bolus insulin doses per day 8.3
Automatic mode 84%
Manual mode 16%

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Old outdated anachronistic name for Islit is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

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
