The following article, it's been a
long while since the Daniel Darkes
mystery was first reported (a myster-
ious reversal of Insulitis Insulinitis,
Islit, due to what eventually was
called a mysterious gene).
No new information in the following
update other than that Daniel's not
needing any insulin has now gone 16
months and that he's been told that
he will be declared "officially cured"
if/when his not needing insulin lasts …
… for 24 months. Why 24 months? Not
explained. How his cure has happened?
Still, only 2nd-hand info from Daniel,
but no official explanation other than
a mysterious gene is involved, and
Daniel's heavy exercise may have …
… inexplicably combined with that
mysterious gene to somehow cause the
reversal. How? Still mysterious. If
it is or isn't repeatable in those
without the mysterious gene? Unknown.

Daniel Darkes could be cured of
[Insulitis Islit] after going
16 months without insulin

Comments:
Is there any legitimate hope that
Daniel's mysterious gene will actu-
ally help anyone else who has any
of the specific types (11) of Islit?
Well, I'm skeptical, but hey, under
the 'anything may be possible' motto,
I suppose something about Daniel's
mysterious gene might provide some-
thing, but hey, it's been 16 months,
and no clue about a replicable way …
… to actually reverse Insulinitis in
those without the mysterious gene has
surfaced, so I suspect that the chance
that any will surface is slim to none.

Pro-Humanist FREELOVER, I got Insulinitis
(Islit) at age 5 in March, 1961 -- I use
a Dexcom G4 Continuous Glucose Monitor
(since October, 2013) -and- was using an
Omnipod Insulin Pump (since January, 2014).
However, due to losing my job & insurance,
I've switched back to using insulin injec-
tions on May 29 (regular insulin and NPH
insulin, 7 or thereabouts injections daily,
2 with NPH, the rest with regular).
Soon, I'll switch from the Dexcom CGM to
the relatively inexpensive Freestyle Libre
(~$1300/year) (started a 10-day test using
it on July 1).

Logic and reasoning behind ceasing using

words and phrases, replacing all that with
vastly superior names, ending diabetes &
diabetic & reactive hypoglycemia confusion,
misleading, & misunderstanding:
Diabetes Bubble / Diabetes Bubble Burst
http://prohuman.net/diabetesbubblediabetesbubbleburst.htm
High Glucose Conditions, HGCs, unprevent-
ability / nonreversibility of all-but-one
of the specific types of High Glucose
Conditions (thus far, research is ongoing
to change that):
o 11 specific types of rapid-onset Insulin-
itis, unpreventable & nonreversible (thus
far), the specific type of slow-onset
Insulinitis, Latent Autoimmune Insulinitis,
also unpreventable & nonreversible (thus
far)
o 20 specific types of Cellosis, unpreven-
table & nonreversible (thus far); only 1
specific type of ANY HGC is preventable
(in many, with lifestyle alterations) &
reversible (possible if action is taken
up to 10 years after diagnosis) - Preven-
table Cellosis
Due to the long period of time in which
Cellosis typically takes to develop, the
prestage in which intervention has a
chance to reduce the risk of getting
Cellosis is called PreCellosis (the old
confusing name is prediabetes)
o 11 specific types of Diminosis (new name
created in 2010 for maturity onset dia-
betes of the young), unpreventable &
nonreversible (thus far)
o 12 specific types of Neonatal Diminosis
(new name created in 2010 for neonatal
diabetes), 8 types are permanent, but
4 types are transient, unpreventable &
nonreversible in the permanent types
o 24 specific types of Ohiglucons (new
name created in 2010 for other diabetes
mellitus), unpreventable & nonreversible
(thus far)
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),
unpreventable. 4 specific types don't
include high glucose, 2 specific rare
types do include high glucose
A Low Glucose Condition, Hut:
o The 21 specific types of Hut (new name
created in 2010 for Hypoglycemia Un-
caused by Treatments for high glucose,
widely called reactive hypoglycemia
or hyperinsulinism), some are preven-
table & reversible, some aren't preven-
table or reversible (thus far)

Follow-up:
A post today with skepticism regarding
Daniel Darkes' claims, one bit of skep-
ticism thinking Daniel may have been
misdiagnosed as having Insulinitis
when he may actually have Diminosis
(see link in my sig for details on ...
... all the new clarifying names for
the over 80 disparate High Glucose
Conditions):

Follow-up 2:
In the previous -2- posts, I did not men-
tion that Daniel Darkes participation in
ultra marathons was one aspect of his claim
to be cured (or was simply an unusual aspect
that was merely a coincidence, with Darkes
actually misdiagnosed).
As of February 6 13,810,000,006 (2019 CE),
no "final report" has been published.
Per the skeptical article on July 25
13,810,000,005 (2018 CE) in my previous
post in this thread: https://www.livescience.com/63157-diabetes-cure-improbable.html
Excerpt:
The first media reports of Darkes' supposed
cure, along with a similar description of the
"rare" gene that partially explained it, began
surfacing in February 2017.
At the time, Darkes made it clear that his
doctors in Northampton were still reviewing
the test results, and that they would report
on their findings soon.
A story published in March 2017 in the North-
ampton Chronicle and Echo reported that Darkes'
test results "are expected to be published next
week."
But they haven't been published, and now well
over a year has passed. So, what is going on?
"Yes, it's a frustrating case," Darkes told
Live Science in an email. "But the doctors
have to be as accurate as they can be with
what's happened, so they've given a 2-year
time scale for completed type 1 reversal."
Darkes explained that if he can go without
insulin injections for two years, his doctors
will be 100 percent sure his diabetes is gone.

Comments:
Well, it's February so we're close to the two
year mark. Still, no articles have appeared
about the supposed cure. Suspicion remains
high that Daniel was misdiagnosed and that
he actually has one of the rare forms of ...
... Diminosis (or some new form of Diminosis
resulting from a single gene), but in any
case, we should be getting the definitive
result of our 2 years of waiting within the
next few weeks (maybe).
