Books read in 2011:

  1. Insulin Pump Therapy Demystified: An Essential Guide for Everyone Pumping Insulin
    by Gabrielle Kaplan-Meyer, 2003.
    Diabetes.

    Kaplan-Meyer writes with an easy, clear style. This book took me about a day to read. But while the style is not weighty, the subject matter is. Kaplan-Meyer's book will not tell you how to use an insulin pump, but it helps you to decide whether insulin pump therapy is for you or not. She covers topics such as how to sleep with a pump, how to have sex with a pump (in the foreword, Gary Scheiner jokes that you can have sex with a pump but he'd rather have sex with his wife) how to still dress fashionably while wearing a pump, how to enjoy a day at the beach and so much more. This is a wonderful book for those considering pump therapy and leads the reader to examine whether they're ready for the responsibility that comes with pumping while also discussing the freedom that can come with pump therapy.
