Season 1 Episode 10, diabetes or diabetic
without clarifier used 3 times, the criticality
of determining which of the 7 DHGCs she
has, which insulin(s) she's using, totally ig-
nored by the writers in this episode.
To show how inept House is at dealing with
the 7 Disparate High Glucose Conditions, a
homeless woman has a glucose level of 38,
they find a syringe in her purse, and they deal
with an array of problems the woman has but
NEVER, not once, give one iota of air time to ...
... which of the 7 Disparate High Glucose Con-
ditions she has, which insulin(s) she's using,
how often she injects whatever insulin(s) she's
using. It's as if they're idiots (or, to be more
accurate, whomever wrote this episode is an
idiot) in not addressing the specific DHGC ...
... she has and what insulin(s) she uses and
how often she injects insulin. Also, they don't
give one iota of air time to finding out when
her DHGC was diagnosed or if whichever mys-
terious DHGC she has is being treated with
any non-insulin medication.
Why in the world a medical show would be so
ignorant of the 7 Disparate High Glucose Condi-
tions, the criticality in determining which of the
7 Disparate High Glucose Conditions she has,
when she gives insulin, what types of insulin
she uses, & what other treatments she's on to ...
... deal with her mysterious DHGC they give
absolutely NO attention to is beyond me. For
that matter, all they show is a syringe, they do
not show any insulin and they pay NO atten-
tion to addressing her DHGC, instead giving
all but a very brief time early in the episode ...
... addressing all of her non-DHGC medical
issues. CLUE - Someone in a hospital with
any DHGC, especially Islit, doctors MUST
deal with the DHGC constantly, & House act-
ing as if that's a non-issue while they're deal-
ing with all of her other medical problems is
abominable/inexcusable.
CLUE - When one has Islit, one has it every
second of every day, it never can be ignored,
it never can be forgotten, it always can kill
you, and all of her other problems, the must
be dealt with IN ADDITION TO her having
Islit, it that's what she has.
As for less severe DHGCs, they don't require
the same degree of constant attention, but
since House didn't bother to share with us
what she has, we have no idea what she has,
DHGC-wise. The entire show ignores her
DHGC, totally, after that brief early mention.
Turns out, she's got some kind of brain dis-
order & there's no way a person with a brain
disorder as severe as hers is could deal with
Islit. A non-Islit DHGC, maybe, but Islit, no
way. Since House is ignoring her DHGC, I
have no idea how she's staying alive, but ...
... her brain disorder is so severe, whatever
DHGC she has, I hope someone (a nurse,
perhaps, off-camera as the show is ignoring
her DHGC) is dealing with that. Doesn't mat-
ter as she only has 2 days to live.

Season 1 Episode 10 Transcript
https://clinic-duty.livejournal.com/2704.html
... Foreman: Her temperature’s 105. Treatment’s
not working, it’s cancer. She’s dying.
... Chase: Good news! It’s a tuberculoma.
Foreman: How do you figure that? Her temp’s through
the roof.
Chase: [holds up paper] It’s the lab results from the
biopsy, it’s definitely a tuberculoma.
House: [looks at test results] So – we’re right about the
diagnosis, and the treatment for that diagnosis is killing
her. Perfect.
[Cut to conference room.]
Chase: The lab checked the biopsy again, twice.
Foreman: Well, a tuberculoma doesn’t give you a temper-
ature of 105.
Chase: Then it’s a tuberculoma and something else.
... Cameron: The Prozac we’ve given her could have
triggered Serotonin Syndrome, which would explain
the fever.
Wilson: [interrupts] No! Jefferson put her on Prozac,
and it wasn’t a problem.
Foreman: She probably never took it! Most likely they
saw her one time and dumped her out of the ER with
a script.
Wilson: Oh, just like you were going to do!
House: [turning to face them] Okay you two, grab some
scalpels and settle this like doctors. Send blood and
urine cultures and get a chest x-ray. And fine, take her
off Prozac and put her on Bromocryptin for the Sero-
tonin syndrome.
Chase: Might want to get her in an ice bath as well,
assuming we want her to live long enough to see those
test results.
[Cut to nurses pouring buckets of ice into a metal tub.
Victoria lies nearby on a stretcher.]
Victoria: I said I was sorry.
Foreman: Your fever’s 105. If we don’t bring it down fast –
Victoria: [interrupts] Foreman, why are you doing this to
me?
Foreman: We’re saving your life.
[in a complicated part of the transcript in
which I'm struggling to remember what
happened, at one point Cuddy says] Bacterial
meningitis, highly contagious ...
[Victoria left the hospital, was found & tasered by
a cop, & returned to the hospital; after a series of
treatments, it's finally determined that she was bit-
ten by bats, didn't get rabies vaccinations, and has
1 to 2 days to live, nothing can be done now to save
her]
One final comment about whichever DHGC she had.
The House TV show always mishandles the 7 Dis-
parate High Glucose Conditions. In Victoria's case,
one is forced to presume that an endocrinologist
at the hospital was informed about her unnamed
DHGC & was responsible for her unnamed DHGC ...
... treatment. I presume House & his fellow diag-
nosticians don't ever (as best I can remember)
specify which DHGC any patient has because
the producers/directors/scriptwriters/actors
were clueless about DHGCs while House was
being made. Poor Victoria, ...
... she was living on the street because she
was in a car wreck 2 years ago and her baby
and husband died, apparently resulting in her
living on the street, distraught, never receiving
psychological/psychiatric help to get past their
death.
Sometimes, people die on House, and it's terri-
bly sad. However, season 2 episode 2, a 9 year
old with cancer & a year to live, she's having hal-
lucinations & enters the hospital to be diagnosed
by House. Turns out House finds another cancer
around her heart, it's operated on, it's benign, but ...
... a clot broke off & went to her brain (causing
her hallucinations) & House & a team of doctors
have to make her very cold to temporarily kill her
in order to examine her brain quickly to try to find
the clot, which they do in the nick of time. They
operate to remove the clot. Sometime later, ...
... she's shown leaving the hospital, she was
brave during all of her experiences in the hos-
pital, her bravery explained by House as due
to the clot being in an area of her brain that
caused her bravery. He was wrong, her clot
wasn't in an area of her brain that explained ...
... her bravery, she was simply brave far be-
yond her years.
All but certain that she would die a year later,
but as the show didn't show that, it showed
everyone involved cheering for her as she
left the hospital, an uplifting inspirational
ending (she hugged House, and the end of
the episode showed House test-riding a ...
... motorcycle). For those who've watched
the ending of House, House & his friend
Wilson were shown riding motorcycles at
the end of the show's last episode, perhaps
in memory of the brave 9-year old girl men-
tioned above.
60 Minutes showed a promising treatment
for glioblastoma (a formerly quickly fatal
type of brain cancer) in 2016, using an un-
usual altered poliovirus. Even though hope
& advances & research are ongoing, the cure
for all malignant cancers has not yet been
found.

Suffice to say, one of the all-time great TV shows
(if you don't mind viewing vomiting a very annoy-
ing number of times, in almost every episode, an
aspect of the show that I object to), House, I'm
going through watching all the episodes and this
is but one of innumerable examples of why there ...
... is so much confusion/misinformation regarding
the 7 primary Disparate High Glucose Conditions
in the general populace, the propensity for all-too-
many all-too-often using the diabetes & diabetic
words without clarifier over and over and over and

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

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:
