5.0 out of 5 starsInsulin can mean better control
By Rachel M. Baumgartel on November 27, 2007
Format: Paperback
The doctor says it is time for insulin, but you are worried about the needles. Or you think it means your type 2 diabetes has worsened and there is no hope in avoiding complications. Or you're worried about weight gain.

Marie McCarren works to dispel the myths about insulin in this book. Using a balance of clinical guidelines and personal stories from the American Diabetes Association message boards, McCarren does an excellent job explaining all things insulin.

For instance, needles used to inject insulin are small. Better control can be found with insulin therapy and weight can be managed if insulin doses are correct. That is just a sample of answers found in this book.

The only thing missing are photographs of someone injecting insulin. While there are excellent graphs detailing how different insulins peak, I was disappointed not to see injections demonstrated.

Regardless, I plan on keeping this book around for my own reference should insulin become the answer for me in the future. I highly recommend it to anyone worried about their own insulin needs.

3.0 out of 5 starsInteresting approach to understanding insulin
By Riva Greenberg on December 10, 2007
Format: Paperback
As a type 1 diabetic of thirty-five years, I always find it amusing how type 2s associate insulin with failure and are so afraid to take these tiny and generally painless injections. That said, the ADA's Guide to Insulin & Type 2 Diabetes is a lively little book to get type 2s more comfortable and familiar with the ins and outs of insulin use.

The guide's uniqueness lies in the fact that it includes patients' comments about using insulin from its online message board. For patients already acquainted with insulin, how to use it and all the basics, this makes an animated read. There is much to be gained, particularly emotionally, from reading the views of fellow new patient users. If you don't have a basic understanding of insulin and its use, however, this approach may be a little confusing and for that reason work against understanding clearly the critical information regarding insulin use.

All to say, if you know your insulin Ps & Qs this is a nice addition. If not, go for a basic primer first, and use this as follow-up therapy.

5.0 out of 5 starsGood for New As Well As Experienced
By marni on January 19, 2008
Format: Paperback
This book is informative for both newbies and veteran diabetics. For myself, I realized I could adjust my insulin units based on how my body was reacting. That's something I didn't know I could do on my own. I've been a diabetic for over 10 years. This book has many narratives from different people so if you're new to diabetes, it's a great resource.
