Influence of Maternal Glycemia on Breast Milk Composition and Volume Ingested by Infants of Mothers With Type 1 Diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine relationships between maternal glucose and breast milk composition and volume ingested by infants of mothers with type 1 diabetes (T1D), and to compare breast milk composition in women with and without T1D.

Research design and methods

Midfeed breast milk samples were collected from 11 mothers with T1D. Maternal continuous glucose monitoring data were correlated with breast milk composition and volume ingested. Breast milk composition was compared between the women with T1D and five without T1D.

Results

Forty-seven breast milk samples from mothers with T1D were analyzed. Maternal glucose 90-120 min before breastfeeding correlated with breast milk glucose and fructose but not with lactose, protein, fatty acids, leptin, or volume consumed. Breast mil
