Neither mother’s diet nor insulin therapy represent any risk for the infant. Initiate early bonding after birth to promote breastfeeding (avoid any separation of the BF dyad just for blood testing), and start breast pumping as soon as possible. Breast milk from diabetic mothers contains more sugar (0,7mg/ml) than non diabetic ones (0,3mg/cc). Enhance self-control by the mother because an increased risk of hypoglycemia. Insulin needs are decreased by 30% (oral anti-diabetic drugs as well), and there is a need to increase caloric intake (500 to 800 kcal/day). Strip-Test for glycosuria are not reliable because of lactosuria.Hypoglucemia inhibits (via adrenaline) milk production, and ejection reflex.Augmented risk of suffering cracked nipples, mastitis and candida infection: promote frequent breastfeeding, assess for proper positioning, avoid the use of disinfentants, creams or nipple cleansing. Oral anti-diabetic drugs are useless for treatment of diabetes type 1. For diabetes type 2, diet, physical exercise, and breastfeeding will help for a better control of glucemia level.
