I am a 30 year-old woman suffering from diabetes last month I gave birth to a healthy child. Following my doctor's advice, he is being breast-fed despite my diabetic diet but for the last few days, I am feeling very weak. Sometimes I even have vertigo. Is it because of my diabetes? Or breast feeding?

This is just an observation, but whenever my cousins were breast feeding they tended to get tired because they were not replacing what was being fed to the baby. Usually they told me they weren't eating enough. They told me if they ate like they did when they were pregnant then they were find. Again, this was just an observation. I would definitely talk to your doctor and make sure. But I am willing to bet it is possibly your diet. The best bet is just to ask because they would know best.

Your vertigo has nothing to do with breastfeeding. It might be due to uncontrolled diabetes, or hypertension, or some other illness. As you are breastfeeding you should be treated only with insulin. However, you must not take any oral antidiabetic drugs, because the drugs get secreted through breast milk, and thus enter the baby's body. You should follow a diet enriched with adequate protein and calorie, so that you can nurse your child properly. Good luck!
