Women with elevated blood glucose levels after childbirth can consume buckwheat noodles during the lactation period. Childbirth is physically demanding, leaving new mothers weakened postpartum; moderate intake of buckwheat can aid in restoring physical strength. Diet should be light, with ample water intake, and smoking and alcohol must be avoided. Carbohydrate intake should be controlled: whole grains and legumes should constitute one-third of total staple food consumption. Additionally, blood glucose levels should be monitored after consuming buckwheat noodles.
