Helpful for the new T1 but not so helpful for T1 20+ years Great book with wonderful tools unless you are moving into the later years of Type 1 as pumper. There are so many changes taking place as you reach the 20+ year mark but no author spends any time helping those of us with T1 for over 20 years. Hoping for an update with valid research! It’s not an area well documented by researchers, doctors or authors.
Great Book It’s worth it for the section on exercise alone, but still awesome over all. I feel like I don’t have to be as reliant on my team of CDEs if I need to make a change… The book tells you how to figure that out, and then I can go to one of my CDEs if I feel the need for some confirmation.
Excellent insulin pumper’s reference manual 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.
