A book all diabetics should have - pump user or not a pump user,
This review is from: Pumping Insulin: Everything You Need for Success with an Insulin Pump (Paperback)
I bought this book a few years ago - because I was considering purchasing a pump. The price put me off - instead I continued multiple injections using my "poor man's pump" - using the info in this book. Lantus came along and things improved even better for me with A1C's averaging 7.0 - but I wanted better control and freedom. For 2 weeks now I have a use of an insulin pump for free (this is not unusual just inquire - you will be surprised) - and am starting to see why diabetics go onto pumps!! After 40 years of being a diabetic since the age of 6 - I have a feeling I may purchase an insulin pump even if I have to cut back on a few things in life. I now think I will check out the newest version of this book - and see if it's even better. Again, highly recommend this book - read it slowly - comprehend it - and it can do wonders for you!!

Great learning tool and reference,

This review is from: Pumping Insulin: Everything You Need for Success with an Insulin Pump (Paperback)
On the advice of my PA, I read the book before going on the pump in October 2001 (22 years after my diagnosis with Type I diabetes). The book is written extremely well and provides clear and concise coverage of the almost every aspect of pump therapy. The authors highlight considerations to make before going on the pump, as well as circumstances you will encounter after beginning pump therapy. The book offers explanations and calculations to figure total daily dosages and advice on how to change dosages for exercise, patterns of high and low bg's, etc. The material included in the book is really valuable when you begin working with your doctor, PA, etc, to help you know what questions to ask. I felt like I had more confidence and knowledge in the transition to pump therapy. "Pumping Insulin" helped me to better manage the pump and my diabetes as soon as I walked into the doctor's office for my initial pump appointment. And for those that have already started pumping, the book's a great reference tool to have on hand.

Must-have reference for pumping.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pumping Insulin: Everything You Need for Success with an Insulin Pump (Paperback)
We got this book in late March, 2001, shortly after our then-6 year old son who has Type 1 diabetes started pumping insulin. This reference explains so well how short-acting insulin is used in the body, how to calculate for it during exercise, how to make adjustments to the basal rates....it save our pump trainer many late night calls. It was a lifesaver in helping us get through the insulin pump learning curve faster. Only thing it doesn't handle in-depth enough is "surprise" infusion set changeouts & sensitivity to Humalog. This book helped us understand how to take better care of our son.
