Does anyone have information about gestational diabetes?  A former
client has just been diagnosed at 32 weeks with g.d. - 2nd pregnancy, 39
years old.  From the glucose levels, it appears mild with only dietary
changes recommended.  The mom is very worried that
she "has caused her baby harm" and is even more worried about birth and
bf outcome.  I photocopied the WHO recommendations but can't seem to
find additional information specifically on g.d.  The literature and
ref's I have refer to insulin dependent mothers.

TIA.
