Means of fasting blood glucose and plasma glucose post load according to the Mediterranean diet score

Gestational diabetes group	Parameters	Low score [0–3]	Moderate score [4,5]	High score [6–9]	Pa
	Fasting blood glucose (g/l)	1.25 ± 0.30 b*	1.08 ± 0.12d	0.91 ± 0.12 c*	<10−3
	Plasma glucose 2 h post load (g/l)	1.76 ± 0.18 b*	1.65 ± 0.10 d	1.53 ± 0.12 c**	<10−3
Control group	Fasting blood glucose (g/l)	0.88 ± 0.09 b*	0.80 ± 0.06 d	0.77 ± 0,09 c*	<10−3
	Plasma glucose 2 h post load (g/l)	1.43 ± 0.15 b*	1.11 ± 0.21 d	1.04 ± 0.09 c**	<10−3

Data are means ± SD, ^a ANOVA Test

^aPost hoc student – Newman Keuls Test for pair wise comparison. ^bComparison between low and moderate score. ^cComparison between low and high score. ^dComparison between moderate and high score.
