[QUOTE="Adam01, post: 1477238, member: 407049"] Thanks both for your helpful replies. I thought as much about the evidence. There's so much conflicting info out there. I suppose you have to do what you think is best as a parent with the information you have available. [USER=39639]@azure[/USER] - she hasn't had any further testing no. I think we assumed she couldn't have type 1 because she has had the blood sugar issues for over a year at least now (when they were first picked up in pregnancy) and aren't 'severe' enough (sorry don't know how else to put it). I thought they would have progressed by now. The highest she reaches is 12mmol you see, and although she stays there for a good few hours, I know that type 1 diabetics' readings are much higher (when not treated). She did lose a lot of weight initially and when she reverted back to the higher carb diet after pregnancy (when she thought the issue had gone) but has managed to put a bit on now so she's healthier by eating more dairy, protein, nuts and seeds egg. I think she's likely to continue with the breastfeeding until he's at least 1 anyway as she enjoys the bonding etc. It's good to know that it's proven to cut the risk of both types of diabetes too. Thanks for taking the time to reply. [/QUOTE]
