If my blood sugar level were to drop too low, even temporarily, I might behave erratically or pass out. If my blood sugar level were to be persistently high, I could face serious health problems such as blindness, heart attack or kidney failure. In order to succeed in controlling my blood sugar level I had to balance my insulin doses against factors such as food and exercise, and to do that I needed appropriate knowledge.For a time, trying to get the required depth of knowledge was frustrating. There was not enough information in the free leaflets, the tabloid-style websites or the general-purpose books on diabetes aimed primarily at Type 2 diabetics. Then thankfully I found this book.The author of this book has medical training and has had Type 1 diabetes for many years, and so he knows what he is talking about from both the professional viewpoint and the patient viewpoint. He has attempted to write a very readable book about a very serious subject, and generally he has succeeded. There are just a few places where the text seems a bit too flippant, and in contrast Chapter 7 is quite mathematical, but that chapter can be skipped and returned to at a later date.This book is American, but in most places it gives the normal British units for blood sugar concentration in brackets after the normal American units. There are just a few places where this American book may not be fully appropriate for British readers, such as references to foods or sweets that are not generally available in Britain, and analogies to baseball.I believe that this book has given me all the knowledge I need to manage my Type 1 Diabetes, and I am no longer looking for other sources of information. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great publication. So much makes sense to me and ... *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 5 March 2017* Great publication. So much makes sense to me and gives me a clearer understanding all round of how/why I "notice" different episodes when they occur. It may be that I'm still a bit out-dated (after 2 years of diagnosis) in that I still use Humulin M3, and am having a bit of a dilemma with some of the chapters as they seem to relate to immediate bolus injections (or is it basal?). My naivety in diabetic language is a bit raw though I'm learning slowly, and thanks to this book I'm thinking I should perhaps be confident enough by now to change insulin to give me my life back. (I so relate to the comments about not being able to sleep when want, and having to get up in night to check levels - pain or what?!). The humour contained alongside the seriousness of the subject makes for a much enjoyable and educational read - THANK YOU. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential guide to Managing Diabetes *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 9 June 2019* This book explains in clear English how to manage Type 1 Diabetes. The basic physiology of diabetics is used to explain the methods used to treat it. It explains some of the hows and whys and some of the potential pitfalls of insulin therapy. A must read for anyone newly diagnosed. ## Frequently Bought Together - Think Like a Pancreas: A Practical Guide to Managing Diabetes with Insulin--Completely Revised and Updated (Marlowe Diabetes Library) - Bright Spots & Landmines: The Diabetes Guide I Wish Someone Had Handed Me - The Ultimate Guide to Accurate Carb Counting: Featuring the Tools and Techniques Used by the Experts (Marlowe Diabetes Library) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/49392611-think-like-a-pancreas-a-practical-guide-to-managing-diabetes](https://www.desertcart.be/products/49392611-think-like-a-pancreas-a-practical-guide-to-managing-diabetes) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-10-27*
