Understanding Insulin Pumps, Continuous Glucose Monitors and the Artificial Pancreas, 3rd Edition, provides an excellent introduction to pump therapy and continuous sensors for anyone considering these tools and can serve as a reference guide for those already using pumps and sensors. The third edition brings new content about the artificial pancreas, also referred to as a closed loop system. The 178-page book is very easy to read and is filled with many helpful tables and charts that will guide you not only through beginning pump therapy but also as you seek to get the most from your pump. Parents will also appreciate the collection of forms in the back to help with pump therapy at school. Eight of the 21 chapters are devoted to the use of continuous glucose sensors. In addition to an excellent introduction to sensors, Dr. Chase and Laurel Messer offer strategies for using the data from your sensor to improve diabetes care. Understanding Insulin Pumps, Continuous Glucose Monitors and the Artificial Pancreas, 3rd Edition is an essential addition to everyone’s diabetes care library. Highly recommended.As the Artificial Pancreas becomes closer to a reality (2017), all people who intend to use it will need to use both an insulin pump and a continuous glucose monitor (CGM).
