(A) Pregnant women were recruited at the first administration between 22 and 24 weeks of gestation (averaged at 23.8 weeks of gestation), at which time blood and stool samples were collected. Oral glucose tolerance test was carried out between 24 and 28 weeks of gestation (averaged at 25.2 weeks of gestation). Fasting glucose levels were also measured in the following pregnant care visit. The link between trace elements exposure, gut microbiome, and GDM was determined. (B) Flowchart of the population included in our final analysis.
