good reference book, donated to a health clinic library to use for client instruction, ok price, good delivery
Disappointing volume size
 
Review Date: June 17, 2010
Reviewer: MahagonyJones, Alabama
I was expecting a book as lengthy as the other What to Expect books. However this book is probably 1/5 to 1/6 of that size. The little information provided is useful. However it doesn't break it down into weeks (or months for that matter) as I was expecting.
Review of Diabetes & Pregnancy
 
Review Date: September 30, 2008
Reviewer: M. Piel, Exton, PA USA
This book was not helpful at all. I am a Type I Diabetic in the process of trying to start a family and I was looking forward to reading this book. It told me the same exact thing that "what to expect" pregnancy book does, barely mentioning diabetes topics. It did not ease my mind or give me any information on how my diabetes would be affected by pregnancy. The only thing they kept repeating was that diabetes NEEDS TO BE CONTROLLED DURING PREGNANCY. No kidding.

Reviewer: t1 diabetic, TX USA
I bought this book in hope of gaining an insight to the increased insulin demands of a diabetic pregnancy due to hormonal fluctuations. This book only describes what insulin is/does. There should be a line on the cover stating that this book is only recommended for uninformed/newly diagnosed diabetics.
This book needs better focus
 
Review Date: July 8, 2007
Reviewer: Alison Aves, San Francisco, CA, USA
I was very disappointed by this book. It seems to have been written for children. It has some information that seems wildly inappropriate for a book that purports to be about pregnancy -- a section on birth control, with an explanation of what a condom is and how it works, for example. It also takes pains to explain terms such as "trimester." It doesn't get very deep into what a diabetic woman can expect and encounter during pregnancy, and that's what I need. I agree with another reviewer that someone needs to write a good book about diabetes and pregnancy.
