Synopsis

From an award-winning diabetes care & education specialist, this all-in-one book is a comprehensive resource for the millions of people with diabetes who use insulin—now revised and updated.

Few diabetes books focus specifically on the day-to-day issues facing people who use insulin. Gary Scheiner provides the tools to "think like a pancreas" to successfully master the art and science of matching insulin to the body's ever-changing needs. Comprehensive, free of medical jargon, and packed with useful information not readily available elsewhere, such as: 

   ·day-to-day blood glucose monitoring and management
   ·designing an insulin program to best match your needs and lifestyle
   ·how to get the best results from CGM and automated insulin delivery systems
   ·new insulin formulations and combinations
   ·detailed strategies for meeting your personal goals
   ·what drugs like Trulicity, Ozempic and Mounjaro mean for you and your health
   ·and much more

Whether you take insulin once a day or take multiple daily injections, use a stand-alone pump or an automated insulin delivery system, Think Like a Pancreas is your go-to guide!

A Good One to Carry Around if You are an IDDM or One of Your Loved Ones is.
