Book excerpt: Pregnancy is one of the greatest miracles of life. It is difficult to comprehend how something microscopically tiny can grow for 40 week into a tiny human being inside your body! A very important thing that you should be well aware of as you prepare to get pregnant or as you start to enjoy this beautiful journey is gestational diabetes. This is a type of diabetes that first manifests itself during pregnancy. Gestational diabetes occurs when a woman who has not been previously diagnosed with diabetes develops significantly high blood sugar levels in the course of her pregnancy. We understand that there are a lot of hormonal changes that take place when you become pregnant and one of the hormones that can get affected is insulin. Insulin is tasked with keeping your blood sugar levels at steady and healthy levels. Now, the question that most people ask is, if gestational diabetes disappears right after delivery, then what's the big deal? The biggest problem with gestational diabetes is that the mother ends up having spiked sugar levels that are able to pass through the placenta to the unborn baby. Remember, that what you eat is also what nourishes your baby and so it's important that you tweak your diet to include foods that are rich in vitamins, minerals and nutrients that are good for both you and the baby. The recipes provided in this book and the concepts herein are based on natural, real and healthy foods. The typical diabetes diet often features sugar-free foods which have been shown to be even more harmful as they feature artificial sweeteners. In this gestational diabetes book, we are going to focus our attention on real and natural foods that will not only help you balance your blood sugars but that will also provide your unborn baby with the best nutrition for optimal growth. Our approach focuses on creating a perfect balance of complex carbohydrates, protein and healthy fats that is going to play a pivotal role in controlling your blood sugars. Perhaps the best thing about this book is that it is not restrictive in as much as we are talking about gestational diabetes. We teach you how to enjoy very healthy meals which will give you the peace of mind of knowing that you and baby are getting the best nutrition you can. 100 tasty recipes are waiting inside!
