Your information is useful to anyone
interested in information not verified
with the use of a CGM and in those who
intensely exercise (I suspect that's ..
... a very small percentage of those
with Insulinitis and a very small per-
centage of those with any of the dis-
parate non-Insulinitis conditions).

Your blaming severe hypos on one particular
insulin is unsupported by anyone else (if
you can find an association anywhere else,
feel free to share that).

Too tired, that must be what you experi-
enced due to your heavy exercise. I've
got over 3 straight years (39 months and
counting) of no severe hypoglycemia, a
record for me after my switch to an inten-
sive insulin treatment paradigm increased
by severe hypoglycemia events.
I've succeeded at stopping them (thus
far), with an apparently remarkably low
HbA1c (5.5 my most recent) and a remark-
ably low hypoglycemia rate (< 70 mg/dl,
4% which recently went to 5%) for those
who have HbA1c levels that low or lower.
The only other reported ways to do that:
1) Your report (claim) that you have -no-
hypoglycemia (at least none that you're
aware of, at least at night while sleep-
ing) and that's not confirmable because
you (like Bernstein, below) don't use
a CGM. You, unlike Bernstein, have said
your overnight glucose levels are too
high, and your overall HbA1c is much
higher than reported by Bernstein.
2) Artificial pancreas (although it's dif-
ficult to find evidence of low HbA1c
levels in test subjects, as the only
evidence of those devices that I've
seen thus far, all test subjects have
much higher HbA1c levels than I have).
3) The Richard K. Bernstein drastic low
carb diet and scientific evidence
of low HbA1c levels (in the upper 4s)
and low hypoglycemia rates, I've not
found a single scientific report
that supports Dr. Bernstein's claims.

Actually, that's those that don't die,
and as for the 5% to 11% estimate of
severe hypoglycemia deaths in those
who've totally or near-totally lost
their endogenous insulin, I've reported
that many times in many posts in this
newsgroup. I'll search for that now.
The 5%, I recall a famous ad from the
JDRF which used that figure. The 11%,
I haven't found that figure yet, but
here's an article with a different
estimated range (4% to 13%):

Hypoglycemia – What Every
Person on Insulin Should Know

Excerpts:
...
The intensive insulin therapy (IIT) described
by the DCCT presents a three fold risk of
severe hypoglycemia – sometimes with dire
consequences.
...
Even though the IIT patients had three times
as many hypoglycemic reactions, the DCCT
Study Group found no significant difference
between the accident rates of the IIT and
standard therapy groups.
...
Death
Some research estimates that between four
and 13 percent of the deaths of people with
type I diabetes are the result of hypogly-
cemic events. "What's worrisome about these
deaths is that they are due to the treatment,"

Unclear if they are referring to insulin
or if they're referring to the 3 times
increase in hypoglycemia caused by IIT
(Intensive Insulin Treatment).
> > Your sig, incorrect.

Your using an epithet that I skipped
is imperfect and inappropriate, as is
your sig, and your skipping my detail-
ing of your sig's imperfection, I'll
once again state it in terms everyone
(even you) can comprehend:
Educating me, I'm well-educated on all
aspects of Insulinitis (your pretense
regarding that absurd) both via over
56 years of dealing with it, and from
thorough research (almost daily) of ...
... news articles and websites about
all High Glucose Conditions + about
the mostly (not entirely) non-glucose
anomaly Insipidus + about the Hypogly-
cemia Uncaused by Treatments for High
Glucose (Hut).
I've also purchased and read books
about our condition.
Proper? Incorrect term when used next
to DM, as DM is most often referred
to with the confusing misleading dia-
betes word used without clarifier,
the word mellitus rarely appears any-
where. Well-documented, the confusion ...
... and misleading that transpires
almost everywhere due to the wide-
spread (scarily widespread) use of
the diabetes and diabetic words
without any clarifier.
To achieve "proper", see the details
of the proposed new medical terms in
the article that you and everyone with
any of the conditions referenced above
should love and appreciate, the Diabetes
Bubble / Diabetes Bubble Burst article ...
... linked to in most of my sigs and
as I'm convinced that it's the best
article ever written about those con-
ditions, the best article anywhere at
a single website with everything one
needs to know to deal with, understand, ...
... & battle those disparate conditions,
