Medical Management of Pregnancy Complicated by Diabetes 7th Edition - by Erika F Werner (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A new era of diabetes in pregnancy care is here, one in which technology is very much interwoven with glucose management. In recognition of this, the fully revised seventh edition of Medical Management of Pregnancy Complicated by Diabetes includes updates on how continuous glucose monitoring, sensors, and other technology have become tools for pregnant people to use in order to achieve the best outcomes.

Topics covered include:
- Preparing for pregnancy
- Lifestyle management for diabetes in pregnancy
- Glycemic goals and assessment
