Book Description
A practical, down-to-earth guide to managing diabetes and pregnancy from an educator, nutrition professional, and mother living with diabetes. 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!

Book Description
Traditions are dangerous; doubly so in science. Traditions are unchanging; science is about change. This was the 4th International Colloquium on Carbohydrate Metabolism in Pregnancy and the Newborn to be held in Aberdeen, and by now the form is set. How much its content has changed is a matter of nice judgement and not under the control of the organizers. It is not within their power to bring news of revolution, if there has been no revolution. Certainly many of the speakers had kent faces from previous Aberdeen meetings, but so they would be at any meeting on diabetes anywhere in the world. The written proceedings of scientific conferences have purposes other than to record changes: sometimes they need to state a consensus. The 3rd Colloquium came to an agreement about the importance of prepregnancy recognition and control of abnormalities of carbohydrate metabolism. The 4th set out to examine what results it had achieved. Much of this book is taken up with follow-up studies of the applications of similar regimes in different parts of the world. Since the first Aberdeen meeting in 1973, progress in the manage ment of diabetic pregnancy has been slow and steady, but the change in the city and the society where the meetings took place has been fast.

Book Description
Abstract: Clinical implications for both mother and infant presented by diabetes in pregnancy are examined in a text for health practitioners. Reproductive difficulties affect maternal metabolism, placental function and pregnancy outcome in the diabetic woman. Insulin does not solve all problems in pregnant diabetics. Part I describes metabolic and clinical considerations for the mother: carbohydrate and lipid metabolism; diabetic effects on endocrine and metabolic adaptations of gestation; role of nutrition in management of the pregnant diabetic; diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy; and psychological factors. Part II explores the effect of maternal diabetes on the placenta and fetus: immunological aspects; placental structure and function; and effects of insulin on fetal growth. Part III examines the biochemical, physiologic and pathologic implications of maternal diabetes for the neonate: energy imbalance; lung and insulin receptor development; calcium, genetic and cardiovascular abnormalities; and neonatal care and long-term outcome.

Book Description
As I read this unique volume on diabetes and pregnancy edited by Lois Jovanovic, I was struck by two themes that run throughout these collected chapters. First, this volume provides an excellent assessment of past problems, present management, and future challenges presented by dia betes in pregnancy. Orury's unique, longitudinal experience with diabetes iIi pregnancy provides the reader with an important overview, as does Coetzee's discussion of gestational diabetes. Current problems-deter mining the etiology and prevention of congenital malformations in infants of diabetic mothers (10M), assessment of antepartum fetal condition, management of pregnant patients with diabetic retinopathy, recognition of thyroid dysfunction in the pregnant diabetic woman, and understanding the multitude of metabolic sequelae observed in the 10M-are thoroughly reviewed. Finally, important considerations for future treatment and ther apy such as the adaptation of the fetal pancreas to the disordered intra uterine environment often seen in maternal diabetes, the use of fetal pan creatic tissue for transplantation, the application of exercise in the management of the pregnant woman with diabetes, and the long-term con sequences for the 10M provide an exciting glimpse into the future. The second important theme that emerges is the critical role the problem of diabetes in pregnancy has played in our understanding of maternal and fetal physiology. Clinical observations supported by basic research have emphasized the role of fetal fuels in teratogenesis.

Book Description
The care of pregnant women who have diabetes is often likened to a "juggling act" in that so many disciplines are involved in their care. This book reflects the findings of a program in management of pregnant women with diabetes at the University of California, San Diego. It considers old and new methods for the delivery of insulin, monitoring of blood glucose control, and current concepts in prenatal and neonatal care.

Book Description
Abstract: Geared for the American Indian population, this booklet addresses the various facets of gestational diabetes: origin, diet, precautions, weight control, exercise, and health care. Simplistically presented in a question/answer format, topics such as breastfeeding, smoking, alcohol consumption, and specific foods to avoid are discussed. Emphasis is placed on maintaining proper health supervision before, during and after pregnancy.
