Pregnancy/Breast Feeding

Pregnancy Category:B

Breastfeeding: No specific data available on the use of insulin during breastfeeding. No adverse reactions have been reported due to insulin in breastmilk, infact insulin in breastmilk may decrease the risk of type 1 diabetes in breastfed infants. In general mothers with diabetes using insulin may nurse their infants. As per one study insulin requirements are reduced postpartum in women with type I diabetes. The lower basal insulin requirement was thought to be caused by glucose use for milk production. This information is based upon LactMed database (available at http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?LACT last accessed 28 April 2011).
