Starting on my pump in October (counting down the days)! Has anyone read this book? It's by John Walsh and Ruth Roberts. Or have any other reading recommendations to swat up before I start?
Thanks

Not a pumper and I've never read the book, however I've heard so many good comments about the book on this forum and elsewhere, so i would say go for it.

It's a very good book, I bought it and read it several months ahead of my planned start date. WOuld also recommend Think Like a Pancreas

The book is excellent and very straightforward. I borrowed it from a friend and was so impressed I bought it myself.

It's known as the pumpers bible for a very good reason :) Personally I think it should be compulsory for every pumper to purchase a copy before they start pumping.
