5.0 out of 5 stars Great pointers on how to fine tune your insulin pump! September 12, 2006

By Susan C. Van Abs

Format:Paperback

The fourth edition of PUMPING INSULIN has been updated to reflect the many positive advancements in insulin pump therapy.

This book is the BIBLE for Insulin Pump therapy. John Walsh, a pump user, and a Physician's Assistant and Certified Diabetes educator, offers invaluable advice and steps for finding your correct insulin basal rates and bolus/carb ratios. Very valuable steps are offered for fine-tuning your basals and boluses too.

For those considering the pump as a management strategy, PUMPING INSULIN helps you to determine whether the pump is right for you.

I highly recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars THE Insulin Pumping Bible May 7, 2007

By J. Dominion

Format:Paperback

This is the only book you need if you are considering pumping, have received a new pump and are starting pumping, or are an experienced pumper and need help improving your regimen. Other books may be good, but this one covers everything in a detailed, no nonsense way, with charts and graphs, and worksheets where necessary. It is a must have for any pumper's library.

By Susan C. Cox

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I read the book front to back when I first got my pump, but since then, I've gone back repeatedly for specific questions. The answers are always there! Well organized, good depth of information, and I enjoy the matter of fact writing style.
