My husband and I have read several diabetic books ever since our daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes - an autoimmune disease not a lifestyle disease, at nearly 16 months of age in March 2016. This book has helped us understand the techniques to have tighter control over BGs even more so than Sugar Surfing. It teaches you all the technical aspects and how to properly use your CGM and insulin pump harmoniously. We also enjoyed Think Like a Pancreas. If you want better control over your or your T1d child’s BGs, get this book. If you’ve bought this book recently due to my recommendation, please comment below or tag me on Instagram. Don’t make excuses for yourself like, “It may be too technical for me.” Just get this book! 👍🏼

    This book provides recommendations for starting settings and subsequent adjustments of insulin pumps for insulin-dependent diabetics. I read the book about 5 months ago and followed the recommendations. My glucose control has improved dramatically as evidenced in the historic graphs my pump produces. I have been very frustrated in the lack of good advice provided by my endocrinologist. This book is a must read for anyone struggling to control glucose using an insulin pump.

    We have always called this the pumping Bible. John Walsh provides amazing clear guidance on using an insulin pump! We purchased his original edition when our child began using an insulin pump and found it full of very useful information. She is away at college and we felt it was time to get her own pumping bible! If you are new to pumping or long in the tooth...this is a very needed tool in your toolbox! Buy it now!!!

    I wasn’t sure if I really needed this book because I have the previous edition already. However I’m so glad I bought it. It has a lot more charts and graphs to help solve blood sugar questions. It’s also spiral-bound which is very helpful. Just one or two of the updated shirts made this book worth the price.

    Great update of the older edition, to include newer pumps and insulin. As always, if you know nothing about pumps...this is a good start. I am a nurse practitioner, a CDE, and BC-ADM, and this was a tremendous help when I first started to do pumps. Recommend this above any other book out there.

    Just arrived so just beginning to read, but i had the third version and see this has been updated. Looking to recalibrate my pumping settings /diabetes care. I am a Type 1 for over 30 years and have been gaining weight and having odd lows so think perhaps I need to work on my basal rate again.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative
    Reviewed in Canada on August 30, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    I've been type 1 for 33 years. I've been on the pump for ~10 years. I'm continually updating my knowledge on the subjects and every book I read, I learn something new. This book is no exception. It goes into detail on how to calculate and test your basal, bolus, carb factor, correction factor, different types of infusion sets and when the set may be the source of your problems.. Common issues that pop up and insight into what the possible causes may be. And depending on your issue, where to start to correct it.

    I don't use a CGM on a consistent basis. I wish I could but I'm not covered for them. This book covers them thoroughly also.

    Even if you don't use CGM, it's worth a read for the information on pumps.
