There are dozens of books about managing diabetes, but few focuses specifically on the day-to-day issues facing those who use , insulin. Now, in Think Like a Pancreas, certified diabetes educator and type 1 insulin user, since 1985, Gary Scheiner gives readers everything they need to know to "think like a pancreas," that is, to successfully master the art of matching insulin to the body's ever-changing needs. A comprehensive, supremely practical guide free of medical mumbo jumbo, Think Like a Pancreas discusses day-to-day blood glucose control and monitoring; measuring and matching insulin to carbohydrate intake; the pluses and minuses of different insulin-delivery methods; hypoglycemia; exercise; the impact of emotions, stress, and illness; and the dozens of other issues that everyone taking insulin needs to master. A book that is long overdue, this first-ever, indispensable, all-in-one resource will enlighten and inspire the four million people whose lives and well-being depend on daily insulin intake.

This is a must have
Right from the beginning, the author talks about his diabetes in a real, relatable way. He touches on emotions, but also makes subtle jokes that only diabetics would understand. I have been searching for a book that talks about the emotions, not just the physical or scientific aspects, of diabetes - and this is that book. It discusses both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. It can give us all a sense of comfort and community because it lets us know that there are other people out there going through exactly what we are. It is my favorite diabetes book that I've purchased so far (and trust me, I have a LOT).
