Description

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!
