Omnipod 5 Controller Death

[_]

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 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Old outdated anachronistic name for Islit is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):

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

with New Superior Clarifying 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://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.

o 4 other Disparate High Glucose Conditions
exist (Gestational Cellosis, Diminosis, Neonatal
Diminosis, Ohiglucons), all 7 DHGCs fully des-
cribed in the following article:

Logic and reasoning behind ceasing using
confusing / misleading / misinforming diabetes
& diabetic & reactive hypoglycemia words and
phrases, replacing all of that with vastly superior
clarifying names:

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.
