The all-in-one, comprehensive resource for the millions of people with diabetes who use insulin, 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!
 

Genre:

  • "Striking a balance between a casual and professional tone, Scheiner presents this material in an approachable manner...Recommended for public and consumer health libraries."
    Library Journal
  • "With the author's amiable voice and reasonable take on diabetes management, this is a far cry from a stuffy disease book."
    Diabetes Forecast
  • "So readable that I found myself wanting to read every word of it when I picked it up with the intention of just skimming through it...The best guidance anywhere for people using insulin or thinking about it."
    HealthCentral.com
  • "This highly practical, humorous, and detailed guide covers it all."
    About.com
  • "Think Like a Pancreas covers essentially anything and everything you'd need to know about living with diabetes."
