Breastfeeding and Risks of Developing Diabetes

Babies and women may be protected against developing diabetes disease through breastfeeding, according to new research. This current study states that the longer women nursed, the lower their risks of developing diabetes.

Breastfeeding is when a woman feeds a baby with milk produced from her breasts. Researchers explain that breastfeeding may change metabolism of mothers which may help keep blood sugar levels stable and make the body more sensitive to the blood sugar-regulating hormone insulin.

This theory is based on some evidence that show that in rats and humans that are breastfeeding, mothers have lower blood-sugar levels than those who did not breastfeed.
