Gestational Diabetes

  

Gestational Diabetes is an ever increasingly common complication during pregnancy.  In this situation, the best defense is a good offense.  By following a high protein well rounded diet, such as The Brewer Medical Diet for Normal and High-Risk Pregnancy,   it is often possible to avoid the pitfalls of gestational diabetes and pre-ecclampsia.  This diet is not Atkins, it is not meant for weight loss.    To access Dr. Brewer's work, go to http://ebooks.kalico.net .  From this site you may purchase a copy of his book The Brewer Pregnancy Hotline for $15. 

 

I highly recommend the article entitled Gestational Diabetes: The Emperor Has No Clothes by Henci Goer.  

 

Diet is the primary factor influencing gestational diabetes.  Here are a few sites that will assist you in researching pregnancy diets.
