Question anyone? please?

I am currently breastfeeding my 6 month old and my sugars have been going wacky again, but my docs not too worried right now...sugars will be 154 and 2 hours later 56...my doc says it's because the breastfeeding...was DX with PCOS 2 years ago....was on 2000 mg Glucophage b4 pregnancy but can't take it now since breastfeeding...my question is...they did a blood test which said my liver enzymes were elevated....does anyone have this too..and if so why? please help...TX

My liver enzymes are fine......are you taking any medications?? What meds are you taking?? Your not taking Actos, or Avandia while breastfeeding are you?? Have you been Dx'd with diabetes or IR?? If so was it gestational during pregnancy which may go away?? What and how are you eating??

From what I understand breastfeeding uses a lot of calories which would explain the rapid drop in your blood sugar after breastfeeding. You might want to talk to a lactation consultant or nutritionist at your local hospital about breastfeeding while diabetic for some pointers on what you should be eating to keep your sugar levels more even, so you don't experience the highs and lows. Even if you are IR and not diabetic it could help you.

The elevated liver enzymes could be unrelated or from the glucophage before you were pregnant. A lot of medications including glucophage are filtered through the liver and can cause damage in some people.

However, my little sister has 3 children and she is not IR or diabetic or on any ongoing medication and she now has severely elevated liver enzymes. She has what they call a fatty liver, also she mentioned NASH (but I can't remember what the acronym stands for). The doctors say it is most likely from having her three children so closely together; they added too much stress on her system.

The treatment for her is to avoid fried foods and fatty foods and basically eat a low cholesteral diet.

Best Wishes,

Thats something good to keep in mind Diana!! We are still holding off until we hear an O.K from the dr...but he was please with just the first month on Lantus.....my levels have gone down drastically....I've gotten a membership to the YMCA and am exercising as well...so its good to know more about pregnancy and after affects from the blood sugars.
