"including an article on diabetes.com that says that you can't take oral
diabetes meds while breastfeeding"

This is not necessarily true.  Like other medications, most oral
hypoglycemics come out in the milk only in small quantities.  Members of one
family (which includes metformin) do not cause blood sugar lowering in non
diabetics.
