Only Basic Information,
By
This review is from: Diabetes and Pregnancy: What to Expect (Paperback)
This book is intended for diabetic women who are considering pregnancy. As such, it is quite basic and not very useful. We do not need to know the how to do a blood glucose test, nor do we need definitions of hypo- and hyperglycemia. If you are looking for an in depth approach or real-life situations they do not appear here.
This book might be helpful for someone who has only just been diagnosed with diabetes, or who knows nothing about pregnancy. Or better yet, a good guide for your husband or partner. Another point worth noting if you buy this book from the UK site, it is an American book so all measurements will be in mg/dl with no equivalent given in mmol/L.

This was my first book and was very helpful!,
By Elizabeth J. Woolley "Editor, DiabeticMommy.com" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Diabetes and Pregnancy: What to Expect (Paperback)
I am the editor of Diabetic Mommy Online Magazine - DiabeticMommy.com
I am a type 2 diabetic, and had to start insulin when I got pregnant with my son. At that time I felt there was little information on pregnancy and diabetes and this little book was a God-send. I was not a diabetes expert by any means, so this booklet was great for giving me a frame of reference for all the new information that was suddently being shoved in my direction. When you are a newly pregnant diabetic, many times you can find yourself overwhelmed by all the information they want you to learn NOW. As time passed, I realized much of the information I was getting in kits, booklets, pamphlets and information sheets was just the same information rehashed over and over. The reason why I was able to mentally organize the information and stop feeling like I was in another country when it came to diabetes terms was because of this book. I've looked at the other reviews and see that many of the negative reviews came from type 1 diabetics. And, I can understand why they would feel this way. They most likely have lived most of their life with this disease, and this little booklet goes over a lot of stuff they already know. This is a little book, about 75 pages. It contains 10 brief chapters and sections with the following titles: Diabetes, Pregnancy & You How Your Baby Develops What to Expect in Nine Months Diabetes During Pregnancy Insulin Therapy Nutrition, Diabetes, and Pregnancy Exercise, Diabetes, and Pregnancy Monitoring Your Diabetes Problems Associated with Diabetes More About Pregnancy Tests to Expect During Your Pregnancy Labor and Delivery Birth Control Making the Choice Hope that was helpful! Do you agree or disagree? Give me some feedback at DiabeticMommy.com 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful:

All Fluff,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Diabetes and Pregnancy: What to Expect (Paperback)
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.

Very elementary,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Diabetes and Pregnancy: What to Expect (Paperback)
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.
