Given the rapid increase in the worldwide incidence of gestational
diabetes, the need for defining the risks and effects associated
with raised glucose concentrations in pregnancy is great. Recent
large studies are helping to define the risks, as well as identify
the benefits of reducing glucose intolerance. Written by an
esteemed list of international authors, Gestational Diabetes:
Origins, Complications, and Treatment presents timely reviews
relating to some of the most important aspects of gestational
diabetes, specifically its causes, consequences, and treatments.
Divided into five sections, the book begins with a section on
metabolism in pregnancy and gestational diabetes, dealing with
maternal and foetal glucose metabolism and the controversial area
of what actually constitutes gestational diabetes. The next section
examines risk factors and causes of gestational diabetes, including
the obvious but often overlooked factors-being female and pregnant.
The text also outlines environmental and genetic risk factors. The
third section deals with the potential complications of gestational
diabetes for both mother and offspring, considering short-term and
long-term effects. The largest section in the book addresses
treatments in an effort to improve the outcome for the mother and
the baby. Chapters describe the nutritional approach, considered
the cornerstone of treating gestational diabetes, as well as
evidence for the role of exercise in its treatment and a useful
strategy for treating gestational diabetes pharmacologically. The
final section discusses future prospects in screening, diagnosis,
prevention, pathophysiology, and treatment of gestational diabetes.
