Breastfeeding protects the mother from diabetes 15 years after childbirth
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Breastfeeding changes the mother's metabolism and is protected from diabetes for up to 15 years after birth, according to a new scientific study conducted by German researchers.
The researchers from the Technical University of Munich and the German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD) report that breastfeeding for more than three months causes metabolic changes for the better in the long run and reduces the resistance of insulin.
During the study, published in the journal Diabetologia, researchers found that 4 percent of all pregnant women in Germany were infected with prenatal gestational diabetes.
Although blood glucose levels returned to normal after birth, researchers found that 1 in 2 of the affected mothers develops type 2 diabetes within the next 10 years, while breastfeeding has been shown to reduce this risk by 40% %, The reasons are not yet understood.
"Breastfeeding for more than three months after birth has a protective effect, which lasts for up to 15 years after birth," said Dr. Annette Gabriel Zenger, director of the International Diabetes Research Institute (IMF) in Helmholter, Munich.
The results of the study were published recently on the US medical website "Medical Xpress" on July 20.Breastfeeding protects the mother from diabetes 15 years after childbirth
