Currently, there are several books available for planning (and undergoing) pregnancy with diabetes. Cheryl Alkon has a good book called “Balancing Pregnancy with Pre-existing Diabetes”. Another resource that recently arrived on the scene is by Ginger Vieira and Jenny Smith called “Pregnancy with Type 1 Diabetes”. I am in the early stages of writing up a book about employing a low carb diet during pregnancy with diabetes. Any others?

Have you seen [this](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/diabibles-books-we-cannot-do-without/111) list?

I’d add the books you’ve mentioned there. Reviews would be great, too! Perhaps here?

(Note: I suggested both the pregnancy books currently listed along with the Phinney and Volek books.)

Sharing a list of your favorite blogs would be great, too…
