Pumping insulin,
This review is from: Pumping Insulin: Everything You Need for Success with an Insulin Pump (Paperback)
Using an insulin pump is relatively straightforward, but still a daunting undertaking at the beginning. This book is written in asimple, logical style. I felt like a student learning a new subject, which indeed I was. Each chapter explains every step to setting up and using the pump, to refining your settings and troubleshooting. The process is further enhanced by the worksheets in each chapter for you to calculate you own figures, i.e how to calculate your total daily insulin dose. Armed with the first calculations you are then in the best position to proceed to the next chapter. Each step of the way is clearly laid out, making it simple to follow. The authors really have tried to cover everything you need to know.This book is also an extremely useful resource for those already pumping who wish to review their position. Existing pumpers will find plenty to enable them to refresh their knowledge and to reassess their insulin regime. It is a pleasure to find someone who, although extremely knowledgable on their subject, has the skill and ability to relate to a learner. For anyone using a pump, either for the first timer or the more experienced user, this is the book to have by your side.

Great learning tool and reference,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
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.

a book to change your future,
By "dceased" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pumping Insulin: Everything You Need for Success with an Insulin Pump (Paperback)
This book is the best I have read on pumping, having taken us(my son aged 10 and I) from very little knowledge on the subject, to convincing us it was for him, and to using it as an essential handbook and support tool now he is on the pump. Umlike some other books, it is so easy to read and understand, without having to read and re read it to get the meaning. The tables in it are so useful and much of the information is not easy to find altogether in one place in any other books. As in car repair books, this one is a 'dirty finger' book - you use it as you go along, and can never know more than the book or outgrow it. I have bought several copies for other people now, and everyone has been pleased with it.A must if you have a pump or are thinking about getting one.

It does have everything,
By shindleriapraematurus@yahoo.com - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pumping Insulin: Everything You Need for Success with an Insulin Pump (Paperback)
This book is a must if you are on or going to be using a insulin pump. It tells about carb ratios and how to calculate basal and boluses. How about your self image? It talks about that too. I love the smart charts that they have. There are lots of details about eveything about the pump. You have to have this book!
