New superior clarifying names for all
of the disparate diabetes & diabetic &
reactive hypoglycemia conditions added
on May 17, 2010, organized as detailed
below:

3 disparate areas:

o -7- High Glucose Conditions (HGCs),
o -1- Mostly Non-Glucose Anomaly (NGA),
o -1- Low Glucose Condition (LGCs) - Hut
(Hypos Uncaused by Treatments for
High Glucose), + hypos from some
treatments* for high glucose

with 10 disparate new superior clari-
fying categories / conditions:

Islit (abbreviation for Insulinitis),
Latent Autoimmune Islit,
PreCellosis,
Cellosis,
Gestational Cellosis,
Diminosis,
Neonatal Diminosis,
Ohiglucons,
Insipidus,
Hut

included in over 100 disparate new
superior clarifying specific types
color-coded in Diabetes Bubble /

*hypo-causing treatments: exogenous
insulin, pramlintide, nateglinide,

ylureas - any of these + exercise
amplifies hypoglycemia risk

The old confusing way of referring to the
7 disparate categories of High Glucose Con-
ditions and 1 category of a mostly Non-Glu-

currently involves folks using the diabetes

Pro-Humanist FREELOVER (Insulitis Islit),
I was using a Dexcom G4 Continuous Glucose
Monitor (CGM) -and- an Omnipod Insulin Pump
with ultra-fast-acting insulin Fiasp to try
to survive the total loss of endogenous
insulin.

However, job loss and loss of health insur-
ance have forced me to give up the insulin
pump, switch back to insulin injections
(NPH & Regular insulin), and to switch to
using a relatively inexpensive Freestyle
Libre CGM (over $4,000 per year less than
a Dexcom G6 CGM).

Exogenous insulin is required to try to
keep everyone with Insulinitis (Islit, at
least 11 specific types), alive but it is
a very risky medication, with exogenous
insulin the primary factor that causes
severe hypo death in an estimated 5% to
11% of those with Islit.

Also, absence of or too low doses of exo-
genous insulin are certain killers (caus-
ing coma / ketoacidosis / death) in those
who have Islit (any specific type).

On May 17, 2010, I created a detailed proposal
for changing all of the confusing & misleading
diabetes and diabetic names -and- changing the
confusing reactive hypoglycemia name:

https://prohuman.net/cureinsulinitisassociation.htm

Name changes for old outdated diabetes and
diabetic words are desperately needed to
eliminate the confusion and misleading that
transpires when those words are used without
clarifiers, which often happens.

A brief summary of what the Diabetes Bubble /

Diabetes Bubble Burst article linked to above

pertains to:

dark red = Insulinitis (type 1 diabetes, juven-
ile diabetes, insulin dependent diabetes, rapid
onset near-total to total loss of endogenous
insulin), 11 specific types,
3 specific types disputed

I got Insulitis Insulinitis in March,
1961, age 5; one day, if I can afford
it, I would like to be tested to find
out the exact polygenetic causality of
my condition.

dark pink = Latent Autoimmune Insulinitis (lat-
ent autoimmune diabetes, slow onset Insulinitis),
1 specific type

dark blue = PreCellosis (prediabetes, but only
applies to increased risk of getting Cellosis),
Cellosis (type 2 diabetes, continued but re-
duced insulin production over time, typically
slow onset), potentially preventable & revers-
ible, 21 specific types

light blue = Gestational Cellosis (gestational
diabetes), 1 specific type (transient but can
increase the risk of later getting Cellosis)

dark green = Diminosis (maturity onset diabetes
of the young, diminished but continuing insulin
production caused by a monogenetic defect),
11 specific types

light green = Neonatal Diminosis (neonatal dia-
betes, diminished but continuing insulin produc-
tion caused by a monogenetic defect in the first
6 months after birth), 8 specific types are per-
manent, 4 specific types are transient

purple = Ohiglucons, Other High Glucose Condi-
tions (other diabetes mellitus), 24 specific
types:
- 5 specific types are drug or chemical-
induced,
- 5 specific types result from endocrino-
pathies,
- 7 specific types involve exocrine or
pancreas diseases or surgical treatment,
- 4 specific types result from insulin action
defects,
- 2 specific types result from other genetic
syndromes,
- 1 specific type results from anti-insulin
receptor antibodies

gray = Insipidus (diabetes insipidus), 6 spe-
cific types (4 are non-glucose anomalies,
2 specifc types include high glucose)

bright red = Hypoglycemia Uncaused by Treatments
for High Glucose, Hut (reactive
hypoglycemia, hyperinsulinism),
21 specific types

Everyone who cares about knowing the
actual specific High Glucose Condition
being described cares about that fact
that it's impossible to know the spe-
cific condition when the diabetes and
diabetic words are used, as they all-
too-often are, without any clarifier.

Some examples from folks who care:

...

Article with some examples of the many
people who support the types of name
changes I've been promoting since 2010.

The preponderance of the media which
promotes the idea that only -2- types
of diabetes exist (sometimes mentioning
a 3rd type, rarely mentioning any other ...

... type), as well as the impact of
using the diabetes word as if it were
a single disease rather than over 80
disparate specific types, you can see
the result within many of the comments

Rename Diabetes?
https://www.diabetesselfmanagement.com/blog/rename-diabetes/
- - -

The post I made in response to that article
on October 23, 2010:

In 2010, I created a detailed proposition
for changing all diabetes names -and- the
confusing reactive hypoglycemia name:

Diabetes Bubble / Diabetes Bubble Burst

(superb) http://prohuman.net/diabetesbubblediabetesbubbleburst.htm

Name changes for old outdated diabetes
and diabetic words are desperately needed
to eliminate the confusion and misleading
that transpires when those words are used
without clarifiers, which often happens.

From reviewing the 91 comments made prior
to today (October 23, 2017), it appears
that about 45 of the 91 posters might be
open to the name changes I created in 2010.

I suggest that folks visit that web article
to understand the comprehensive nature of
the name changes, which total (the diabetes
name changes and the reactive hypoglycemia
name changes) ...

... close to 100 new specific types of
glucose anomalies (6 apply to the mostly
non-glucose anomaly Insipidus).

Larry - 5 years ago

The two conditions have similar symptoms
but they are not the same at all. They
should have different names. Medical
science has allowed us to learn the
difference.

Having a cold and having hay fever have
similar symptoms but they have different
names. Type 1 and Type 2 names should be
updated.

...

Joe - 5 years ago

A lot of folks seem more worried about
what other people think than how it
affects their own disease management.

These kind of comments almost always
come from those affected by type 1, or
their loved ones.

They seem to be extremely concerned
someone might confuse their disease
with the "other" diabetes, or that
type 2 might be taking away attention
from their affliction.

There is also the slightest indication
that they consider type 2 to be less
"honorable" than type 1. For their
sake I would be fine with renaming
both diseases.

...

jon T. Wilkins - 5 years ago

I have had Type 1 for 40 years. Mostly
I find that a name change would help
when writing articles about diabetes.

many times one starts reading but learns
they are talking about type 2. It would
be helpful to know which one as there
are many differences in the kinds of
diabetes.

...

Dee Fones - 5 years ago

My opinion is to find a new name! Maybe
at the same time some marketing guru
could help with advertising to change
misconceptions and educate people.

...

J. C. - 5 years ago

Yes, absolutely change the names.

...

Both my parents, two of my grandparents,
my only sibling, and several cousins
have been type 2 -- more than 10 people
in my immediate family. No one in my
family was type 1.

Although I know MANY type 2 diabetics,
I know only one type 1, a classmate of
my son. I think that ratio is truly
representative of the incidence of
type 1 versus type 2.

Everyone deserves help and to have
their medical condition researched,
but because of the differences, the
conditions need separate research,
and separate fundraising for research
for each type, and that can happen
only if the different diseases are
clear.

...

Lisa Fown - 5 years ago

I am a mother of two twin girls that
both got type 1 when one was 13 months
old and the other twin was 15 months
old they are 23 years old now.

I have been saying for 22 years the
names need to and must be changed there
is too much confusion.

There are too many commercials that
advertise food for type 2 to lose
weight and they very rarely say just
for type 2 so the majority of the
population when they hear Diabetes
just know about type 2.

So in a lot of peoples mind if you
have diabetes all have do is eat
right and exercise and the diabetes
will go away. I don't know how many
times I have heard well they can get
rid of the diabetes or grow out of
it because they are misinformed.

I took one of my daughters to the
ER when they were toddlers and the
"nurse" checking us in ask "she will
grow out of it right?" there is a
very BIG difference in the two
diseases.

Everyone that ask me I always tell
them that they are two separate
diseases and Type 1 is much more
severe. My daughters could die in
the middle of the night, my daughters
have had thousands of pokes during
their life.

they have to watch when they are
sick, if they exercise too much,
if they have too much stress, if
they eat something and get the carb
count wrong etc

everything can effect their blood
sugars. Most people have no idea
what a type 1 diabetic goes through
in a day.

I always have been an advocate for
my girls - one of my daughters is
in college away from home so I found
a way to get her a diabetic dog to
be with her at all time.

I obtained information on sensors
that help let you know when your
blood sugars are going up and down
and they both have sensors along
with their pumps now.

I also called Columbus Ohio when I
read an article about the islet cell
study they were doing and talk to
one of the head people to see if my
girls would qualify to get the islet
cells that was supposed to get rid
of the diabetes.

what i found out that only people who
have had transplants such as a kidney
transplants were eligible because you
had to be on the medications for trans-
plant patients so body would not reject
the cells and the cost was around $1,000
a month and insurance was not covering
it.

so as you see i worry about my daughters
everyday and would do anything to help
make their lives easier.

I had a conversation just last week with
my daughter that we need get the name
"diabetes" changed also we were trying
to figure out the best way to do it.

to find out someone else is already doing
it is just amazing! This name has to be
changed because it will show that they
are different diseases and Type 1 doesn't
have anything to do with amount you eat
or dieting.

i am willing to help in any way to help
get this done. what my girls go through
on a daily basis. I have found my daughters
too many times with a low blood sugar were
they are convulsing and i have had to give
them a glucagon shot and they have been in
the hospital more times then I can count
especially when they were toddlers.

A name change would give people with Type 1
diabetes such a sense of satisfaction to
know people would know what disease they
have and stop confusing their disease and
saying just start eating right and you will
get rid of your disease

some people assume that someone with Type 1
brought their disease on themselves which
can not be further from the truth!!!

...

Di A. Beet Tees - 5 years ago

YES, two distinct names will save lives as
the dietary recommendations and treatments
for type I versus type 2 are different.

Further, the medical community is confused
by treatments based on the study of one
that is applied to two, and vice versa.

...

Kris - 5 years ago

I believe a name change would be very
helpful. I've been a Type 1 (originally
called Juvenile) for the last 40 years.

As more and more people were diagnosed
with Type 2, I found myself explaining
to more and more lay people why I couldn't
just get by with a better diet and some
exercise.

Worse than that, however, lately I've
found actual medical personnel in walk-in
clinics that don't seem to know the dif-
ference!!

No, they aren't endocrinologists but
I would expect that a basic medical
education would explain the difference.
Apparently it doesn't and/or they don't
remember which is which.

In either case, something needs to be
done to help both lay and professional
people keep them straight!!

...

Karen - 5 years ago

Oh my heavens...YES - there is a medical
need to differentiate between Type 1 and
Type 2 diabetes. I have thought about this
for many years. I have 5 children, 3 of
which have Type 1 diabetes. I, myself,
have Type 1 diabetes as well.

There is absolutely NO comparison between
these two diseases. Having lived with
another person who has Type 2 diabetes,
we may as well be on opposite sides of
the planet.

An update on the artificial pancreas (AP)

With more and more positive data about
outcomes with an automated insulin deliv-
ery system - including fewer hypos, more
time in target range and lower levels of
[High Glucose distress - it isn’t surpris-
ing that so many people are working to ...

... get their systems to market - and they
aren’t all big corporates either.

Obviously many scientific groups are devel-
oping the algorithms needed to make the
artificial pancreas work.

Diabetes UK have been funding the work of
Dr Roman Hovorka and Dr Helen Murphy at
Cambridge, but a quick look at
ClinicalTrials.gov
shows at least 133 ongoing trials into this
sort of technology at hospitals and univer-
sities all around the world.

So far only one company has launched an
early stage version of the AP - the Medtronic
hybrid closed loop system, the 670G. This
now has limited availability in the US with
plans to probably roll out in Europe from ...

... 2018, although the device apparently
hasn’t yet got a CE mark. Medtronic have
also had problems with a global shortage
of CGM sensors (an integral part of any AP
solution) which may further limit expansion
into markets outside the US.

But other companies are also moving forward
with their own approaches.

Tandem is partnering with Dexcom to turn
their t:slim pump into a “hypoglycaemia-
hyperglycaemia minimizer” with trials ex-
pected to begin in early 2018.

Insulet, who produce the OmniPod, are also
working with Dexcom to produce the OmniPod
Horizon which will be a closed loop system
with trials taking place in 2018 and a launch
expected in 2019.

Bigfoot Biomedical are working with Abbott,
using a modified version of the Freestyle
Libre as a CGM sensor, to develop their sys-
tem with trials planned for 2018 and a poten-
tial launch in 2020.

Another US Company, Beta Bionics, are also
working with Dexcom on the i-Let device,
which could be the first dual hormone (insu-
lin and glucagon) artificial pancreas. How-
ever it is likely that they will move for-
ward with an insulin only product by 2020.

These are all likely to appear first in the
US, so may take some time to reach the UK
market.

In Europe, Roche are working with Senseonics
and their Eversense sensor to develop their
system, with trials expected in 2018.

The Cellnovo patch pump is also being used
with two different algorithms and Dexcom
sensors with further European trials ongo-
ing and potential launches in 2018.

Although this is really exciting, the real-
ity of getting these devices into the hands
of people with [any of the disparate High
Glucose Conditions, primarily Islit (the
abbrevition for Insulinitis, near-total
to total loss of endogenous insulin) ...

... won’t necessarily be easy going in the
UK. Despite current NICE guidance in Eng-
land for both insulin pumps and CGM, we
know that the number of people currently
both eligible for this technology and able
to access it through the NHS is very lim-
ited.

... are there any other approaches to the
AP? The simple answer is yes. The difficult
bit about developing an AP system is the
algorithm. It doesn’t really matter what
pump or CGM sensor you use, as long as the
sensors are accurate enough and the pump ...

... can be instructed to deliver more or
less insulin. The algorithm is what does
all the work and that is what all those
research studies are investigating - what
is the best algorithm to instruct the insu-
lin pump to give exactly the necessary ...

... insulin to maintain blood glucose at
a stable level. For any commercial company,
producing a device like the MiniMed 670G,
... they need robust evidence that their
algorithm not only does what it says [it
doews] but is also safe to use and won’t ...

... lead to any ... harm [to any user].
FDA and EMA wouldn’t approve a product
without that safety data.
