  • This video is very informative. It explains how gestational diabetes develops in a very simple way, and it give one key way to prevent it (maintain a healthy diet). As a future midwife, this video is a good reference for me to use when it comes to teaching my future patients.

  • Warning: Don't take Glyburide for gestational diabetes. Glyburide is counter-indicated (not recommended) by the FDA for pregnancy unless absolutely necessary, due to some adverse effects in rats, plus the possible side-effect of neonatal hypoglycemia. Insulin is 100% safe for pregnancy, however, so it's a much better option. Please do your own research.

  • Fantastic! thanks.

  • thank you so much for the info, any suggestions on high protein snacks other than hummus and peanut butter? I mostly eat nuts.

  • Healthy eating habits: eating whole grain carbohidrates, low in animal fats as cheese, eggs, meats. Best: a balanced, vegan diet, supplemented with Vit. B12
