Definitely. One has to be a little more careful as the BFing may increase chances of low sugar but other than that, for sure a diabetic can nurse her baby.

No, I understand as a diabetic you have high sugar but often the act of nursing can give you low sugar. Low sugar can be a dangerous state so it's important to monitor your sugars carefully while nursing and keep a lifesaver or a juice box by your side while nursing.
