If you read Dr. Hale's book "Medications and Mother's Milk", you will find that he's done studies on Lantus passing though breast milk and it's such a minute amount, along with Lantus being a naturally secreted hormone (just long lasting, unlike "real" insulin)...it's perfectly fine.
Go back to Lantus. Better to have awesome control during pregnancy!!! |

It seems we're never safe from medical professionals putting seeds of doubt about the safety of our medicines during pregnancy. I had seriously never heard that novolog could present a problem! I'm not switching yet... I'll think about it when I get closer to becoming pregnant. |
I slacked off in reproductive medicine and hope someone knows the answer to this, but isn't the baby protected from the mothers insulin source? HIV is rarely passed on and would think that other protinous factors such as viruses, insulin, glucagon, etc is protected from the placenta<?>.
