2.0 out of 5 stars Good Basic Information but not enough for type 1's, June 5, 1999

This review is from: Diabetes and Pregnancy: What to Expect (Paperback)

This books title is very promising but it doesn't follow through. It contains good basic information but almost nothing on the potential risks of high blood sugar during pregnancy. There is also no information on reasons that your doctor might want to deliver early or other special needs that a woman with type 1 diabetes might want to consider when planning her delivery.

2.0 out of 5 stars "What to expect" leaves you still expecting!, March 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Diabetes and Pregnancy: What to Expect (Paperback)

Although the title promised a great deal of information, I was very disappointed. Most of the chapters do not go indepth enough to really inform and comfort. It is missing a great deal of information that a well versed insulin dependent diabetic woman would want and expect to know/learn. For example, it doesn't mention the use of insuln pump therapy, the use of Humulog insulin nor the rotation of injection sites in pregnancy...it just didn't do it for me. This book is the type you woud find on a Dr. office waiting room table..just to browse through, not used for heavy duty info. Overall, it would be excellent for an expecting woman to use this book to aid her in questioning her Doctors further...not as an indepth source alone.
