Reviews
""The use of continuous insulin infusion pumps for the treatment of patients with diabetes of small children to adults is spreading rapidly. This is a practical guide for nurses and diabetes educators." (Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews, 1 December 2010)
"This guide, aimed at nurses and other health professionals, will hopefully raise awareness of the need to better assess people with Type 1 diabetes, and to clearly determine who are those who would benefit from the use of an insulin pump." (Nurse Prescribing, August 2010)"This is a very informative book. It is clearly laid out and gives a comprehensive guide to using CSII in diabetes. This is a very useful and balanced introduction and support to anyone involved in the care of individuals with diabetes." (Journal of Community Nursing, February 2009)
