Babies and -women may be protected against developing diabetes disease through breast feeding, according to ne-w research. This current study states that the longer -women nursed, the lo-wer their risks of developing diabetes.

Diabetes as a medical disorder characterized by varying or persistent elevated blood sugar levels, especially due to eating, is a serious disease -which symptoms is very similar for all types of diabetes.
Breast feeding is -when a -woman feeds a baby or a young child -with milk produced from her breasts. The best thing for feeding a baby is breast milk, as experts say, if the mother does not have transmissible infections.
Although study findings is not conclusive, researchers explain that breastfeeding may change metabolism of mothers -which may help keep blood sugar levels stable and make the body more sensitive to the blood sugarregulating hormone insulin.

This theory is based on some evidence that sho-w that in rats and humans that is breastfeeding, mothers have lo-wer bloodsugar levels than those -who did not breastfeed.

According to the study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, -women -who breastfed for at least one year -were about 15 per cent less likely to develop diabetes type 2 than those -who never breastfed. For each additional year of breastfeeding, there -was an additional 15 per cent decreased risk.

A total of 157,000 nurses participated in the ne-w study. They ans-wered periodic health questionnaires and -were follo-wed for at least 12 years. During the study, 6,277 participants developed type 2 diabetes.
