Carbs & Cals Gestational Diabetes: 100 Recipes Designed by Diabetes Specialist Dietitians

I have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes during my pregnancy. It is and easy-to-use book, with plenty recipes and guidance to help you navigate this period. This book is a practical, go-to guide with all the info you need.

I was recently diagnosed with gestational diabetes and my diet was so bland and boring so I purchased this book to give me a bit more variety and so glad I did. Full of fab, delicious and easy to follow recipes full of flavour. Also features a food carb index at the back for breads, pastas, rices, fruits, nuts, veggies, meats, cereals etc which makes it really easy to put your own meals together while also keeping track of your carb/sugar intake. I'm yet to try a recipe I don't like. Definitely one of my best ever purchases and so many yummy recipes I'll be sticking with even after my baby boy is born 👌

Brought this for my daughter as she has gestational diabetes...She finds it very helpful with all the information and portion sizes...The recipes are good and easy to follow, she loves it.

This book is absolutely brilliant for anyone who wants to reduce their blood sugar levels. I bought it when I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and it helped me to understand the condition and meal plan. There’s a lot of information at the beginning about what to avoid and what foods to choose instead. The recipes are great and cover a wide range of cuisines. It’s full of photos so a pleasure to read. The most useful part of the book for me was the reference guide at the back of the book covering a wide range of foods to help you count the carbohydrates.

OK but doesn’t give you anything you can’t Google and the recipe includes things pregnant women are typically told to steer clear from like smoke salmon (lox). I plan on retuning this as it’s not helpful for my needs.

Really good introduction to gestational diabetes. Some good recipes. More difficult to find ingredients in the UK.

Great book. Love the pictures. Really easy to use reference guide. Use it most meal times. Haven't tried many of the recipes but they look nice. It's a great product even without using these. Full of useful ideas and info.

I like the book. But it depends on the person. As my sugar level still shoot up, so it was pointless

Contains some explanations, daily plans but best feature is of course the individual recipe. There are a lot of choices from soups, salads, curries, stews etc. a lot of meals are still heavy so you don't feel like dieting, especially when being pregnant! Helped me a lot to regulate my blood sugar. Highly recommend it. Includes tastes from different places (European, African and Asian).

Awesome I
