Cherii - there is also an extremely good book that I wish I had when I was pregnant, I only it got after being diagnosed with pre-diabetes and was recommended by my GP. its called: The New Glucose Revolution - Diabetes & Pre-diabetes hand book: The essential diet and lifestyle guide. Brand-Miller, Foster-Powell, Colagiuri, Barclay

It has a multitude of fantastic information - from particular brand types that are low gi - to recipes (which I have made alot of and are very yummy) to menu plans. Its great. There is a comprehensive chapter particularly regard GD, but the whole book is applicable.
