ExpertSHRUTI KANCHANLactation Educator and Counselor2 years agoA. During pregnancy, diabetes may cause high blood sugar levels in the mother, which can lead to complications for both mother and baby. After delivery, a diabetic mother's blood sugar levels may fluctuate while breastfeeding depending on various factors such as insulin resistance, hormonal changes, and nutrition.
Breastfeeding helps in lowering the blood sugar levels in diabetic mothers, and it is generally recommended that they breastfeed their babies exclusively. Breastfeeding triggers the release of hormones that increase insulin sensitivity, which helps in controlling blood sugar levels. A diabetic mother may need to adjust her insulin dose or diet to prevent drastic fluctuations in blood sugar levels while breastfeeding.
However, a mother may also need to monitor her blood sugar levels more frequently while breastfeeding to ensure that her diabetes is well-controlled. If not controlled properly, it can lead to low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia) or high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia), both of which can have adverse effects on the mother and baby.
In summary, diabetes during pregnancy can affect a mother's blood sugar levels while breastfeeding. However, with proper management, monitoring, and adjustments to insulin doses and diet, diabetic mothers can successfully breastfeed their babies while controlling their blood sugar levels.
