Book Reviews of Pumping Insulin: Everything You Need For Success On A Smart Insulin Pump
Book Review: Better insulin management
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this book as a guide to insulin-pump management before actually going on a pump (which I hope is imminent), so my comments are not based on actually using a pump yet.
After over 40 years of diabetes I still learnt a great deal about the condition, and the difficulty of controlling it, and what an insulin pump can and cannot be expected to achieve. It seems to cover all aspects - insulin, carbohydrates, glucose, exercise, diabetes in children, in pregnancy, etc. I even found out things like why I go high after eating lots of nuts (protein is converted to glucose), which has always been puzzling. Everyone has their own varying metabolism, but this book gives the reader all that is needed to begin working out how to deal with the many aspects of control.
I give four rather than five stars just because the book has not been adapted for the European market. As so often, the Americans have to be different in matters like the units used to measure glucose - the mmol/L equivalent, used everywhere else in the world, is often (not always) given, but it is a pain ploughing through all the mg measurements; likewise, all body weights are given in pounds instead of the international kg. It is also frustrating to read of the latest drugs available in US (Symlin in particular) which are unlikely to appear here any time soon. But these things aren't the author's fault.
