Synopsis

Gestational Diabetes is becoming prevalent in South Asian, mainly Indian population at an alarming pace (20-25%). And subsequently, mothers who are detected with Gestational Diabetes have a three to sevenfold risk of suffering from Type 2 diabetes within next five to ten years. This silent “creeper” disease needs to be addressed proactively to ensure that the mother, her children, and communities at large enjoy a healthy lifestyle. This book is dedicated to all South Asian, especially Indian mothers-to-be across nations. The author shares information she gathered on the topic of Gestational Diabetes for last decade and a half. The author first came across the term 16 years back when she was diagnosed with the health condition. She quickly discovered that there were no dedicated sites that provided all encompassing relevant and applicable information about Gestational Diabetes in South Asian- Indian women, and it was difficult for a patient to get answers to her questions. That’s when she decided to pen down her experiences to help all those that are in need of some guidance during their pregnancy. If you are an Indian woman as the author, then it is important for you to understand the risks of developing the illness and how you can successfully combat it, like she did. You will find this book particularly informative and useful, considering that there are very few books and mini books available focusing on South Asian women, especially Indian women with Gestational Diabetes. The book provides an overview of what is Gestational Diabetes, Symptoms, and Risks caused by the disease, and the controlling and prevention measures to have a healthy pregnancy and subsequently energetic lifestyle.
