July 02, 2009
I was hoping this book would help me understand gest diabetes, but the info was slim - i skimmed thru it in one setting and it ended up in the donation bag.

This book is written by a world famous authority who is THE west coast specialist. It has been a huge help to our family. Guidance and answers are what a suddenly diabetic, pregnant mom-to-be really craves. The book was recommended by our dietician and we have been so greatful!

Helpful, but not the definitive work on the subject.... by Mr. Thomas E. Gackle (Michigan USA)  4 Stars
April 27, 2008
The book pushed the usual medical establishment line about gestational diabetes which might work for some, but really is by no means a definitive work on the subject. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with gestational diabetes, you should read everything on the subject including this book but be skeptical. The medical establishment is pushing insulin on pregnant women when diet should be the first approach and be careful...low carb foods are NOT always better than regular. This is caused by hormones and the normal rules of diabetes do not always apply.

Best book out of 3 that I bought 4 Stars
April 04, 2004
I bought 3 books when I was diagnosed with Gestational diabetes: 101 tips for Healthy Pregnancy w/ Gestational diabetes, Gestational Diabetes: what to Expect & this one. This one was the best I thought. It had a real food guide (my main questions were how do I control my diabetes with diet), the others just wouldn't come out & say "eat this" "don't eat that". Plus the author writes to the women with the diabetes, very direct & personable. I am giving this book to my midwife so she can share it with her patients instead of just Gestational Diabetes: What to Expect.

Good food guide 2 Stars
December 03, 2000
When you have Gestational Diabetes, you are basically going to find all your information from your Doctor and Diabetic Counseling, there really isn't any one book that tells you anything more than you already know. I thought this books Chapter 5 on Food, Food, Food was helpful. It allowed me to make up my own menus following their guidelines on what to eat. It was pretty much the same guidelines I got from my nutritionist but my nutrionist never gave me as many choices. I would recommend this book to someone with Gestational Diabetes, because of that chapter, and it does give the same information as your Doctor.
