2-hour OGTT (mmol/L)
	Unadjusted	6.59	6.65	−0.06 (−0.56 to 0.43)	.80
	Adjusted	6.63	6.58	0.05 (−0.39 to 0.48)	.83

^aAdjusted analysis is based on a linear mixed effect model adjusting for the respective baseline covariate (in addition, ethnicity and parity were also included for exclusive breastfeeding) and the effect of time, taking into account possible intrasubject correlation between the repeated outcomes at week 6 and month 4.
