My favorites are Pumping Insulin: Everything You Need For Success On A Smart Insulin Pump by John Walsh for pumping, his Using Insulin for MDI. (I have to type out the whole title to get the touchstone). Also, Type 1 Diabetes by Ragnar Hanas.
For living with diabetes, I like June Biermann and Barbara Toohey's books, even if they are a little on the sentimental side. Also, When You're A Parent With Diabetes by Kathryn Gregorio Palmer. My favorite memoir is Sweet Invisible Body by Lisa Roney.
My favorite Type 2 books are The First Year Type 2 Diabetes by Gretchen Becker and Diabetic Woman by Lois Jovanovic-Peterson.
Yes, I read a lot. I admit it!

Hi!
Not much activity here, I see. I was diagnosed a little over a month ago as Type 2, after being borderline for the past 2 to 3 years. My metabolism seems stuck in 'low', no matter how much activity and exercise I can fit in a day.
I recently purchased Handbook of Exercise in Diabetes by the ADA, for a whole dollar. It's more of a medical reference than a 'read', but I'm picking up information that I deem to be useful.
My only experience with Diabetes was my Mother-in-Law, who died this past August after being a 40+-year Insulin Diabetic. As it turns out, Type-2 Diabetes was/is an issue on both sides of my family, but no one mentioned it until I told them about me.
Question: How long after being diagnosed did you begin checking your blood sugar levels?
