"Reading this extremely well written book is a pleasure. Whatever you wanted to know about insulin pumps you can find here. It is impressive to “feel” the passion of the authors to help patients with diabetes use what they regard as the best way to take insulin.
Reading this book takes away the fear of using an insulin pump. You have the feeling you are the master of the technique and not the other way around. This book is very helpful for getting an excellent start, for answers when you are using your pump and for all the little tricks that you need to become an “expert” with your insulin pump. "

"Dr. Elliott Joslin said, “The person with diabetes who knows the most lives the longest.” For insulin pump users, the best way to know the most is through Pumping Insulin, the definitive reference by John Walsh and Ruth Roberts. Today’s pumps are so much more than just basal rates and meal boluses. Pumping Insulin helps every pump user get the most out of their insulin pump. This is one of the very few must-have books in diabetes care."
Many of the challenges of managing diabetes can be overcome by the use of an insulin pump – it can be a liberating experience for someone on years of injection therapy. However, both successful diabetes management and successful insulin pump therapy require an organized, long-term commitment to learning. This book stands out as it shows us the necessary logical steps to navigate the breadth and depth of knowledge needed to succeed.
