Probably the worst book I've read on the subject, but you should read it anyway by Mr. Thomas E. Gackle (Michigan USA)

This book does explain alot about the history of how the medical establishment came up with gestational diabetes but it really doesn't help much for women that have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. "Discuss with your doctor" is not helpful. I would have preferred a more helpful book than this from the source.

Too simplistic

This book was written for those without a high school education. It did not contain any relevant information that you couldn't get from a basic pamplet, and included some condescending sections on stopping hard drug abuse and contraception.
