i had gestational diabetes while pregnant but was diet controlled. right after delivery, doctor told me i didn’t have to follow any diet since my diabetes was gone. throughout pregnancy up until the 8th month, i didnt take any meds. but then my fasting levels were a bit high, so i was put on 2.5 mg of glyburide.

now my baby is 4 months old, ive lost about 40 lbs (i am at a normal weight, i gained 25 lbs during pregnancy and was a bit on the heavier side), and for the past week, i have woken up with low glucose levels. i wake up feeling shaky and sweating. my glucose levels are at 66. as soon as i eat something (usually banana) my levels go back to normal....earlier this week, i decided to check my levels after meals without altering my diet and every time my levels were normal (nothing past 123 after 2 hrs of my meals).

i do breastfeed a lot at nighttime. baby wakes up every 2-3 hrs...

has anyone experienced low glucose levels due to breastfeeding a lot? could it be because i have lost a lot of weight? any ideas??
