I purchased this book knowing that one person had rated it poorly... however without any other reviews, I took a chance. I agree with the first rater, this book is "basic".... it gives more detail on what every pregnant woman should do while pregnant... and what all the books on pregnancy already suggest. The only chapter that I found beneficial for me with gestational diabetes was the chapter on how the different insulins work within the human body. Other than that, the place that I found the best info. for gestational diabetes was on parentsplace.com message boards.... topic (pregnant and diabetic). Someone needs to write a good informative book for women with GD.

I started to read this book, then decided to skim, then decided to quit. It is all fluff. If you want a good book with meaty infomation, read Medical Management of Pregnancy Complicated Diabetes published by the ADA.

I was very disappointed. This book contained only the most basic information, and I did not find it to be helpful at all. It does not live up to it's title.
