Diabetes during pregnancy can be a scary experience for women, whether they are diagnosed with gestational diabetes or have been living type 1 or type 2 diabetes for years. This book gives moms-to-be practical, easy-to-follow, and reassuring advice to successfully manage diabetes during the nine months of pregnancy. It answers common questions such as:

• Can I have a healthy pregnancy if I have diabetes?
• What can I eat?
• How do I keep blood sugars in target?
• What are the best tools to use to help me manage my diabetes?

Managing diabetes during a pregnancy can be overwhelming, but with the practical advice from the trusted experts at the American Diabetes Association found in Pregnancy & Diabetes, moms-to-be get the advice they need for a successful pregnancy and a happy, healthy baby!
