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.

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Old outdated anachronistic name for Islit is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):

My HbA1c is 5.4, so I'm surprised & as
such I'm inclined to be very encouraged
by that and as such give my Omnipod 5
G6 insulin pump an A+.
