Product Description
This book has been created for patients who have decided to make education and research an integral part of the treatment process. Although it also gives information useful to doctors, caregivers and other health professionals, it tells patients where and how to look for information covering virtually all topics related to gestational diabetes (also Glucose intolerance during pregnancy; Glucose intolerance of pregnancy), from the essentials to the most advanced areas of research. The title of this book includes the word official. This reflects the fact that the sourcebook draws from public, academic, government, and peer-reviewed research. Selected readings from various agencies are reproduced to give you some of the latest official information available to date on gestational diabetes. Given patients' increasing sophistication in using the Internet, abundant references to reliable Internet-based resources are provided throughout this sourcebook. Where possible, guidance is provided on how to obtain free-of-charge, primary research results as well as more detailed information via the Internet. E-book and electronic versions of this sourcebook are fully interactive with each of the Internet sites mentioned (clicking on a hyperlink automatically opens your browser to the site indicated). Hard-copy users of this sourcebook can type cited Web addresses directly into their browsers to obtain access to the corresponding sites. In addition to extensive references accessible via the Internet, chapters include glossaries of technical or uncommon terms.

Review of Official Patients Sourcebook on Gestational Diabetes by tebewebb (Washington, DC)

4 Stars
May 24, 2008
This book is quite useful, if perhaps overly full of information that is not of interest to the average person. It is good because it provides a straightforward summary of what gestational diabetes (GD) is, and answers a number of the basic questions in clear, reassuring terms. The only significant problem I did not see addressed was the question about whether having GD implies that the woman should be induced early in order to counter the leading danger from GD, which is an overweight baby. There is, however, a ton of material here if you want a sourcebook for a whole array of studies, material and related info on GD.

Helpful information, but much more information needed by Mr. Thomas E. Gackle (Michigan USA)

Although this book was helpful, it really didn't answer all of the questions we had and we have yet to find the definitive book on the subject.
