Transplant
In a tiny minority of Islit individuals, pancreas
or islet cell transplants can reduce exogenous
insulin dependence for a tiny % of Islit indivi-
duals (< 1%) who are at high risk of sequelae
& qualify, though success rate decreases over
time, from no success which includes risk of ...
... death, to short to length of time variable with
very few > 10 years, all requiring risky immuno-
suppressants to try to avoid transplant rejection.
10% of Cellosis individuals are eligible to get a
pancreas transplant (see Pancreas Transplant
below).
~~~
Islet Cell Transplant (in clinical trials)
https://www.healthline.com/diabetesmine/beta-cell-transplantation-for-diabetes#Side-effects-range-from-mild-to-nasty
o 1 year post-transplant, ~75% still “insulin-free.”
o 2 years post-transplant, ~40-50% still “insulin-free.”
o 3 years post-transplant, ~10-30% still “insulin-free.”
o 4 years & greater, no information provided, though
some info on multiple transplants provided.
~~~
Pancreas Transplant (~1,000 per year)
https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/pancreas-transplant/about/pac-20384783
About 10% done in Cellosis individuals with both
low insulin resistance & low continued insulin pro-
duction, 90% done in Islit individuals with hypergly-
cemia &/or hypoglycemia lack of success in hand-
ling with exogenous insulin. Also done along with
kidney transplant in cases of severe kidney dam-
age.
See article for long lists of risks & sequelae.

Pancreas Transplants & Insulin-Free
Percentages after 5 & 10 years
Recent data (September 2020) from over 20,000
pancreas transplants performed in the USA (also
includes information on islet cell transplantation &
non-stem-cell sources of islets):

Proportion of recipients who are insulin independent
5 years after pancreas transplantation is
o 73% for Simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplants

o 53% for Pancreas transplants alone
Proportion who are insulin independent 10 years post
transplantation is

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://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).
