Pumping Insulin - 5th Edition????
« on: 06 June 2012, 10:49:37 AM »
Just been told that I am getting a pump! :-) (training is scheduled for Sep)  Been reading that John Walsh's "Pumping Insulin" is fantastic.... see that the 5th Edition has been released in the US, can't seem to find it available in the UK yet.... does anyone have any info regarding this????  I know that the new edition has sections on pregnancy, CGM etc, so thinking that would be better for me as were planning baby no2.  Would love to read this before getting my pump, if anyone has any information, it would be much appreciated - thank you x

I don't know. But, you could order it from the US amazon and get it shipped?

I think Sedge has a pregnancy section in her copy because I'm sure she has quoted from it! I'm not even sure where my copy is ;)

This link is from John Walsh's website.  On Amazon.com/US it says that 'pre-orders' are being shipped first week of June.

Pumping Insulin 5th Edition provides up-to-date information on how to use the Smart pump for the best blood glucose management.
Clear, logical steps on how to set up a pump test and adjust it. Simple ways to find TDD,
basal rate and carb and correction factors for boluses. Use the bolus calculator to avoid stacking insulin and highs and lows.
Carb-counting and over 300 carb percentages.

Yes thanks Mack, we already knew that.  Clearly you are quoting from the publicity blurb and don't yet have a copy .....

Yes Winni - I have Edition 4, published 2006 - Chapter 26, Pregnancy !

I should just order the new one if I were you.

It's not available on Amazon.com yet, I wonder why?

Interestingly, the 4th Edition is on sale for $999 :o or $219 used

Edit - You can buy it from here but it's $40 to ship to the UK!

I don't understand why?  Have they ran out?  I'm sure I paid £10 about 18months ago.

Why on earth?

Crikey! 'Supply and demand' really kicking in between the availability of editions 4 and 5!
