Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insulin pump use in Australia explores the number, characteristics and experiences of insulin pump users, using information from the National Diabetes Services Scheme and the first national survey of insulin pump users, conducted by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. In 2011, the proportion of Australians with Type 1 diabetes using an insulin pump was approximately 10%, representing an increase over previous years. Pump use was more common among females and people under 25 years, and for most pump users the benefits of pump use outweighed the problems.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "Insulin pump therapy has increased in popularity with evidence that it provides people with type 1 diabetes, quality of life benefits, less variability in blood glucose levels, and has been shown to reduce the frequency of hypoglycaemia and the risk of diabetes complications. In Australia, however, not all diabetes nurse educators offer an insulin pump service and limited formal professional training is available for acquiring these skills. Further, there is paucity in the research on the role and experiences of diabetes nurse educators providing an insulin pump service and the barriers and facilitators encountered when providing this support. The qualitative study addresses the significant aspect of care provision for people with diabetes.Using interpretive description, the study draws on the experiences of diabetes nurse educators and consumers to examine the role of Australian diabetes nurse educators providing an insulin pump service to people with type 1 diabetes. Interviews and demographic questionnaires from nine diabetes nurse educators and 11 consumers of insulin pump therapy were conducted. Purposive and snowball sampling were used to recruit both participant groups. Analysis involved an inductive comparison and contrasting of the data, noting similarities and differences, generating codes and themes. Consistent with interpretive description methodology, findings provided an interpretive explanation of the participants' experiences and perspectives. Data from the two participant groups were integrated and synthesised to develop common themes. Key themes describing the diabetes nurse educators' experiences of providing an insulin pump service included: the learning phases perceived and experienced by the diabetes nurse educators; meeting consumer needs and own expectations, and; the role in the team, describing the diabetes nurse educators' perceived limitations and scope of practice while working as part of an integral team Themes describing consumers' experiences and perceptions of receiving insulin pump support from diabetes nurse educators included: support needs and support provided; the diabetes nurse educators' understanding of pump technology, and; the resourcefulness of consumers filling the gaps in support. The final integration and synthesis found four themes common between the two participant groups: (a) standards of practice and care provision; (b) mentoring to facilitate learning, the role of the pump company representative in assisting successful insulin pump therapy, and; (d) the future impact of insulin pump technology for diabetes nurse educators and consumers. Findings of the study highlight the increased learning and workload generated by insulin pump therapy, the benefits and difficulties of insulin pump technology in health care and working within scope of practice, legislation, patient safety, and consumer needs. Findings from the study support the need for formal education and accreditation in insulin pump therapy for diabetes nurse educators and engaging consumers of insulin pump therapy in co-designing services."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discovery of insulin at the University of Toronto in 1921-22 was one of the most dramatic events in the history of the treatment of disease. Insulin was a wonder-drug with ability to bring patients back from the very brink of death, and it was no surprise that in 1923 the Nobel Prize for Medicine was awarded to its discoverers, the Canadian research team of Banting, Best, Collip, and Macleod. In this engaging and award-winning account, historian Michael Bliss recounts the fascinating story behind the discovery of insulin – a story as much filled with fiery confrontation and intense competition as medical dedication and scientific genius. Originally published in 1982 and updated in 1996, The Discovery of Insulin has won the City of Toronto Book Award, the Jason Hannah Medal of the Royal Society of Canada, and the William H. Welch Medal of the American Association for the History of Medicine.
