I'd make an effort. It shouldn't be incredibly difficult. For instance, turkey's usually a safe bet, and that's the main part of Thanksgiving dinner (well, except for vegetarians, but still!)
As far as the side dishes, my mother is diabetic and we've made sugar-free cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie this year. Both of them turned out excellent -- in fact, a quarter of the pumpkin pie is currently "missing"! A simple Google search will turn up tons of recipes -- that's how we found ours.
Seriously, though, there's usually more than enough food to go around during Thanksgiving anyway, and I don't know anyone who eats it all. Your friend's husband should be able to find at least some things he can eat without harm.

I would have thought perhaps you would have to do so before recently being diagnosed with gestational diabetes and having to learn to eat like a diabetic. Really there would be no extra cooking involved. Part of diabetic diet is learning to balance foods not just avoid them altogether. While sugar-free or low carb alternatives are nice for diabetics they're not required. He should have no problem choosing food item combination that work from a plain old thanksgiving dinner.

Had a bottle of '96 Caymus Cab with dinner last night. Very nice. It is holding up well and pretty tasty!
