Great news. Treat yourself to a copy of Pumping Insulin 5th Edition by John Walsh for Christmas. It's not a particularly light read, but it tells you all you need to know about pumping. I still use mine occassionally 6 years after starting pumping as it's full of great suggestions on how to tackle particular issues.

This is the link to the book on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pumping-Ins...=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1355322594&sr=1-1

Terrific news! Pumping insulin is definitely the most highly recommended book by the members here 🙂

Ditto to the book endorsement !

Some of it might not get through because you haven't got a pump to know what he's on about. But those bits will make a lot more sense once you have got the thing and have got a bit used to it.

So if you read it with interest sort of thing, and then go back to it again after you've had the pump for a little while (like a week or two) it should fall more into place.

Any queries I'm darn sure you can ask on here and we can all get our copies out and give our interpretation of that bit, if we can't answer em off the top of our heads.

It's a bit like knowing Spanish fluently and then trying to understand Portuguese, or Austrian instead of German !

Wonderful, was wondering when you might get it!I will follow you progress and hope I am not far behind you...

In my current Amazon-hating phase I have discovered that Foyles are offering the recommended book cheaper! - yes, the most up-to-date version. Here's the link - http://www.foyles.co.uk/witem//-978...4_1355338089_d1d749978deea1a33f50416db124fcf9

Best of luck!

That's fantastic. Having a pump is absolutely brilliant. I found that reading Pumping Insulin plus doing the Roche Accu-Chek Combo online course plus reading all of the pumping posts on here made it relatively easy for me to get used to the pump fairly quickly.
