| Variables | GDM group (n = 45) |
NGT group (n = 45) |
||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| r | p | r | p | |
| Pre pregnancy BMI | -0.737 | 0.000 | -0.669 | 0.000 |
| Fasting blood sugar | -0.395 | 0.009 | -0.020 | 0.897 |
| Fasting blood Insulin | -0.291 | 0.058 | -0.065 | 0.677 |
| HOMA-IR | -0.353 | 0.020 | -0.08 | 0.609 |
| TNF-α | -0.330 | 0.350 | -0.117 | 0.466 |
| hs-CRP | -0.337 | 0.027 | -0.444 | 0.003 |
P values were resulted from Pearson correlation. GDM: gestational diabetes mellitus; NGT: normal glucose tolerance; T2DM: type 2 diabetes mellitus; HOMA-IR: homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; TNF-α: tumor necrosis factor–alpha; hs-CRP: high sensitive- C reactive protein.
