Data presented as means ± standard deviation or n (%).BMI: body mass index; 1: Evaluated in pre-pregnancy; 2: Evaluated in the third trimester of pregnancy; GA: Gestational age at delivery; GM: Glycemic mean; HbA1c: Glycated hemoglobin; PI: ponderal index (weight/length3 x100); Newborn classification (weight/gestational age): small (SGA), adequate (AGA), and large (LGA) for gestational age; Ht: hematocrit; Hb: hemoglobin. Values followed by different letters and the same index significantly differ (p < 0.05). ns: not significant (p > 0.05).
