Product Description
There are dozens of books about managing diabetes, but none focuses specifically on using insulin. Now, in Think Like a Pancreas, certified diabetes educator and type 1 insulin user Gary Scheiner gives readers everything they need to know to "think like a pancreas," i. e. , to successfully master the art of matching insulin to the body's ever-changing needs. A comprehensive, supremely practical guide free of medical mumbo jumbo, Think Like a Pancreas discusses day-to-day blood glucose control and monitoring; measuring and matching insulin to carbohydrate intake; the pluses and minuses of different insulin-delivery methods; hypoglycemia; exercise; the impact of emotions, stress, and illness; and the dozens of other issues that everyone taking insulin needs to master. A book that is long overdue, this first-ever, indispensable, all-in-one resource will enlighten and inspire the four million people whose lives and well-being depend on daily insulin intake.

Format:Paperback
This is a must for every who is diabetic regardless of type 1, type 2, recently diagnosed or diagnosed 40years ago as I was.
It explains how insulin works, why the pancreas packed up and tips on how to adjust insulin levels.
I couldn't put it down _ its written in a non technical friendly manner.
Highly recommended

This is a great book. Unfortunately, it is written in American and you have to interpret some of the words. However, it is a very good guide for anyone wanting to get a grip on their diabetic control. Although all types of diabetes and all control regimes are covered, the book is most useful for those on muliple insulin injections (basal bolus regime) or those using an insulin pump. Much of the thinking in the book is now being taken up by forward-thinking clinics, but (perhaps) not most GPs. It is interesting to read the original script for some of the advice I've been hearing! Do buy it. It is very helpful and practical, with just the right amount of science to support the advice. It may well make you question the way you've been doing things! And for me, it worked.
