Nice book

I discovered a nice book for the pumping. I bought "Pumping insulin" in January but was afraid to start to read it. As many of you already know that english is a second language for me, read an english book for me is harder and it requieres more concentration than in french.

But I discovered a nice book, written in simple words and that was easy to understand. A reference for every pumper !

Mario, I didn't realize your original language was not english--the way some of us "typo" around here, you fit in very well!

Yes, Pumping Insulin is a MUST read. I'm glad for you that you picked it up!

For sure, it worth the effort to translate it in my head.

I just translate your binary signature.

Nice translation ! Sometime, I think I'm too geek !

01001101 01100001 01110010 01101001 01101111


I have the following joke for geeks. A little subtle.

There are 10 type of people, those who understand binary language and the others.

I bought it from www.minimed.ca which is the provider of my pump. You may also buy it from amazon.com. It explains all you have to know for pumping and in clear words easy to understand.
