If you are diagnosed with gestational diabetes, your doctor may recommend you meet with a diabetes educator or dietitian. At the end of this article, you will find sources to locate a diabetes educator in your area.

One of the best available resources on-line is a free 49-page booklet titled "Managing Gestational Diabetes: A Patient’s Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy." This booklet provides an extensive and overall look at gestational diabetes. It also provides a sample daily menu plan and daily record to write down your daily food intake, as wells as physical activity.
