At Yes! To Cookies, we understand that pregnancy is a very special wondrous time in your life. Unfortunately between 1 and 3 percent of all pregnant women develop gestational diabetes and that frequency is on the rise.
Developing diabetes during your pregnancy can be frightening. According to www.FamilyDoctor.org, if you have gestational diabetes, your doctor may choose to limit the amount of starch and sugar you eat, for your safety, and for the health of your  baby. Foods that you once enjoyed, like cookies, may suddenly become off limits.We know that when you 'are eating for two' you can experience very intense hunger cravings and the desire to 'munch' can be overwhelming! Fortunately, Yes! To Cookies can help.
Yes! To Cookies are zero starch, zero sugar, zero gluten cookies. Since the fiber and sweeteners in Yes! To Cookies aren't digested or absorbed, they will have almost no impact on your blood glucose.The fiber will satisfy your desire for a sweet treat and then pass harmlessly through your body promoting healthy regularity.
