  • Isaac Traudt, Islit at age 4, now uses insulin pump + CGM

    From _@21:1/5 to All on Wed Aug 18 13:49:17 2021
    Isaac, a basketball player - for some reason,
    writers delight in writing articles about indivi-
    duals who have Islit (Insulinitis - near-total to
    total loss of endogenous insulin) who partici-
    pate in sports or other exercise activities. https://247sports.com/Article/Four-star-power-forward-IsaacTraudt-and-Virginia-basketball-recruiting-target-is-warrior-on-and-off-the-court-after-being-diagnosed-with-type-1-diabetes--169287068/

    Why? Hmmm, I don't know. Islit exercisers
    seem to fascinate writers, almost as if writers
    are so obsessed with Islit exercisers that Islit
    individuals who aren't active exercisers are
    totally ignored unless they do something else
    to garner attention.

    Isaac's age, the following photo, he appears
    to be in high school, perhaps 17 or 18: https://s3media.247sports.com/Uploads/Assets/762/540/10540762.png?fit=bounds&crop=620:320,offset-y0.50&width=620&height=320

    From that photo showing him using a tslim pump
    and saying he's getting a glucose reading from
    looking at his phone (actually, his tslim pump), I
    surmise he's using a tubed t:slim X2 insulin pump
    with Control-IQ technology which is designed to ...

    ... help increase time in range (70-180 mg/dL) using
    Dexcom G6 CGM values to predict glucose levels
    30 minutes ahead and adjust basal insulin delivery
    accordingly.
    https://www.tandemdiabetes.com/products/t-slim-x2-landing-page-g6

    The article mentions Isaac's efforts to try to keep
    his glucose levels > 70 mg/dl during games, but
    ignores the fact that Islit requires 24 x 7 x 365 (366
    every leap year) attention in order to try to avoid
    glucose levels going too low & too high, NO TIME
    OFF EVER!

    The article touches on that issue but doesn't go
    into details about the difficulties of dealing with
    Islit when one isn't exercising. Sleeping, for ex-
    ample, a particularly dangerous activity for all
    Islit individuals. Every insulin dose by every Islit
    individual entails risk.

    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): https://groups.google.com/g/misc.health.diabetes/c/58ZoHZEZ51w/m/EBejqoJQAQAJ

    Notably, one's relatives and one's birthplace
    dramatically impact one's risk of getting the
    Insulitis-caused Islit, as listed in details of all
    15 specific types of rapid-onset Islit & the sole
    specific type of slow onset Latent Autoimmune
    Islit at https://groups.google.com/g/misc.health.diabetes/c/aOsrugeqYqs/m/MlI8I6PzAAAJ

    Stop Diabetes/Diabetic Confusion
    with New Superior Clarifying Terms https://www.change.org/stopdiabetesdiabeticconfusionwithNewSuperiorClarifyingTerms

    o Preventable Cellosis is the only specific
    type of Disparate High Glucose Condition
    that is preventable & reversible (in many,
    sometimes it's called type 2 diabetes, often
    confusingly called diabetes with no clarifier)

    Risk for Preventable Cellosis, Hypertension,
    & Cardiovascular Disease increases as one's
    weight increases but BMI risk increases at
    lower BMI levels in non-white individuals: https://prohuman.net/pix2/BMI-WaistCircumference-Cellosis&Hypertension&CardiovascularDisease-Risk.jpg
    https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-05-bmi-offs-obesity-diabetes-non-white.html

    o PreCellosis (often confusingly called predia-
    betes with no clarifier) is the oft-times preven-
    table & reversible Cellosis precondition that all-
    too-often the overwhelming majority having it
    are unaware they have it (almost 3 times more
    have PreCellosis than have Cellosis).

    o 20 specific types of Cellosis, unpreventable
    & nonreversible (thus far, sometimes called
    type 2 diabetes, all-too-often confusingly called
    diabetes with no clarifier)

    Per the following article, 5.3% with Cellosis
    used exogenous insulin in 2019. https://www.bloomberg.com/press-releases/2019-12-13/tandem-diabetes-care-announces-fda-clearance-of-the-t-slim-x2-insulin-pump-with-control-iq-advanced-hybrid-closed-loop

    o 4 other Disparate High Glucose Conditions
    exist (Gestational Cellosis, Diminosis, Neonatal
    Diminosis, Ohiglucons), all 7 DHGCs fully des-
    cribed in the following article:

    Logic and reasoning behind ceasing using
    confusing / misleading / misinforming diabetes
    & diabetic & reactive hypoglycemia words and
    phrases, replacing all of that with vastly superior
    clarifying names:
