It's the same concept. Depending on what the caloric intake your doctor suggests, of course, the meal plans vary.
My doctor gave me a meal plan. It spells out exactly what I can eat and how much of it for each meal, including snacks.
I've had gestational diabetes twice and am staying on the diet to keep me from getting adult onset. Ask your doctor if he/she can give you a sample meal plan.

You hear all the time on television people talk about how the got rid of Type 2 diabetes by a healthy diet and exercise. Many of these people had a somewhat healthy diet before, and it was the exercise that ultimately eliminated the type type 2 diabetes. There are so many studies that prove that exercise increases insulin sensitivity - especially aerobic exercise. Just google exercise and insulin sensitivity and I challenge you to find a website that says otherwise. If he can't go the doctor for direction then I believe he has the power to take care of the problem himself especially since he is as you said a "borderline diabetic". I am not a doctor nor an expert so do research before you follow anyone's advice (like you already are). But I humbly suggest that he stick with a healthy diet, watch the glycemic index for a while, and MAKE SURE he gets some exercise. At least 3-5 times a week for at least 30 minutes a day even if he is just walking around the block for half hour - the exercise will make the biggest difference of all. Type 2 diabetes is so common these days, and it could become a whole lot LESS common if more people exercised. Good luck and I hope he gets better!

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.
I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

If you OB hasn't already had you meet with a dietician, ask to talk with one. They can set you up with recipes and how to distribute the fats, sugars and proteins throughout the day to maintain a desirable blood sugar.
The differences in the two types of diets would probably be in the amount of calcium sources figured into the calorie allotment.
But, like I've said a bizzilion times before - check with a professional.
On the off chance that there isn't a dietician available, contact the American Diabetes Association. They should have cookbooks, or even direct you to appropriate websites.

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.
And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

Gestational diabetes is that related to pregnancy..I would see my OB doctor to get "your ducks in a row" to see what your blood sugar is running, get a glucometer to check you blood sugar, and talk with a dietitian about what to eat for you and the baby..Women who become diabetic with pregnancy are treated differently than a Type II diabetic..and what is so very important is that diabetes in pregnancy can cause problems with the mom and the baby..so it is very important to watch very closely your blood sugars and how you eat during your pregnancy...

Diabetes is usually treated through a combination of diet (low sugar), exercise and medications/insulin. Milder cases can be controlled with just diet an/or exercise while more severe cases require meds or insulin as well.
