About this book

This comprehensive volume covers all aspects of nutrition in different scenarios of maternal diabetes, including the Type 1 or Type 2 diabetic mother, gestational diabetes, and postpartum diabetes. The volumes offer a comprehensive, yet thorough, overview of the subject, from the prevalence, risk factors, and insulin requirements of the mother; to possible outcomes and effects on the infant; to dietary advice in general and specific scenarios; and information on macro and micronutrient supplements. There is also a special section on international perspectives on maternal diabetes, with ten chapters that each focus on a different country.

Nutrition and Diet in Maternal Diabetes: An Evidence-Based Approach offers an overview of the Type 1 and type 2 diabetic mother, maternal and offspring aspects of gestation diabetes, and breastfeeding and maternal gestational diabetes.​ 

Reviews

“Part of the Nutrition and Health series, this book highlights the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diabetes in women during pregnancy. … The book is meant for healthcare providers who work with women with diabetes, those of childbearing potential, or at risk for gestational diabetes. This is an up‐to‐date resource for this population.” (Amy Hess Fischl, Doody's Book Reviews, December, 2017)
