Islit - Insulinitis, near-total to total loss of
endogenous insulin.

~~~

Noah, at diagnosis, had a glucose level
of almost 512 mg/dl. He had Islit keto-
acidosis, close to going into a coma &
taken to the emergency ward. Emma
‘burst into tears’ when she was told
Noah has Islit.

Noah is using a Dexcom glucose moni-
tor to enable his parents to keep track
of his glucose levels & dose insulin to
try to avoid hyperglycemia & if his glu-
cose is going down too fast or has gone
< 70 mg/dl, they respond by having Noah
eat or drink glucose-raising carbs.

Photo of Dexcom glucose sensor placed
on the back of Noah's upper left arm (of
note, Dexcom's current recommendation
is that the sensor be inserted on the ab-
domen; I recently tried an arm insertion &
the sensor failed during 2 hour warm-up). https://www.thesun.ie/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2021/07/NINTCHDBPICT000664066963-1.jpg

Note that's the recommendation for the
Dexcom CGM, but if I'm not mistaken,
back of the arm *is* recommended for
the Freestyle Libre CGM.

The article doesn't say how Noah's exo-
genous insulin is dosed (pump or injec-
tions or Afrezza inhalation + injections
for basal insulin, although technically,
an insulin pump could be used for basal
insulin & bolus insulin 2 units or less, ...

... with Afrezza inhalation used only for
the larger bolus dosages). https://www.thesun.ie/fabulous/7250828/diabetes-mum-temple-street-child-dublin/

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Old outdated anachronistic name for Islit is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).
