So I have this friend who's been "eating for two" since the day she found out she was pregnant, but I came across a news story that suggests this could be a bad idea.

This is the first time I have heard of "gestational diabetes".
The article says she should only be consuming an extra 100-300 calories a day. Maybe I should send her this and tell her to slow down on the chow. Or is it something she only has to worry about if she has other risk factors for diabetes?
