This bilingual photo booklet/fotonovela helps women, with diabetes, troubleshoot health problems that may arise during their pregnancy. The booklet addresses gestational diabetes, which can be a temporary condition that flares up during pregnancy and retreats during birth. Type I diabetes is a progressive disease that can morph into type II diabetes. The reasons for type 1 and 2 diabetes progression can vary. Two of the reasons include genetics and self care. The booklet describes the differences between these conditions, and the conditions that arise as a result. The story is told through the circumstances of several different women as friends and in a support group. It uses very real circumstances and personal habits to illustrate the dangers of the progression in diabetes for pregnant women.
