  • In memory of Samantha Graham

    From _@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jul 27 15:34:02 2021
    Per the article below, Samantha Graham,
    who had an unspecified Disparate High
    Glucose Condition (probably Islit, near-
    total to total loss of endogenous insulin,
    but as her type wasn't mentioned, it's
    possible she had a non-Islit DHGC), ...

    ... died from ketoacidosis causing her to
    go into a coma when she was asleep on
    July 20 2020, her death occurring about
    3 weeks later, Samantha passing away at
    age 27.

    The article is about a mother advocating
    for Ontario to provide continuous glucose
    monitors for those with Islit. Her son, age
    8 Mason Dos Anjos, has Islit which was
    diagnosed at age 16 months.

    Mason uses a continuous glucose monitor
    (CGM) which his mother says has saved
    him from 'dead in bed syndrome' countless
    times. The article says Mason's mom gets
    emotional knowing Mason would likely not
    be alive without his CGM.

    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 Autoim-
    mune 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 its slow
    onset and its 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    Old outdated anachronistic name for Islit is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 condition which is 1 of the 7 Disparate
    High Glucose Conditions (DHGCs).

    That makes figuring out which DHGC is actu-
    ally being referred to (and it can be any one,
    or some, or all of them when the diabetes
    or diabetic word is used without clarifier)
    confusing / difficult: https://prohuman.net/pix2/diabetesdiabeticguessinggame.jpg https://prohuman.net/pix2/diabetesdiabeticconfusion.jpg https://prohuman.net/pix2/diabetesdiabeticendingthemisunderstanding.jpg

    It's estimated that 5% to 11% of Islit individuals
    will die from severe hypoglycemia, the highest
    risk of that being while sleeping (i.e., dead-in-
    bed syndrome).
