Based on my own experiences your suggestion is worthless, as one diet doesn't fit everyone and it seems that no one understands (besides calories in/calories used) how humans should eat to stay healthy.
So suggestions like this are worth the same as suggestions about how to raise your children.

Asian + Pacific Islander is such a stupid fucking category. There is no way Japanese people, Pakistanis, and Samoans have remotely related biological factors for gestational diabetes. Or any other meaningful thing the government might care about that would justify grouping people together.
No, it’s mentioned because “Asian and Pacific Islander” is a specific, separate category for government’s data collection purposes. It was created as a result of Pacific Islander lobby. You can look up all of this.
Hint: go for low carb, see for example Lily Nichols on that subject. Her book is called “Real Food for Gestational Diabetes”.

This is just the lack of an Oxford comma. “Asian” and “Pacific Islander” are separate groups in the data list further down.

Good point, but Pakistanis and Japanese also don’t have anything in common in terms of biological risk factors either.
