Values are expressed as the number/total number (%) and as OR (95% CI).

The composite criterion of complications is defined by the presence of at least 1 of the 5 following complications: pre-eclampsia, LGA, SGA, cesarean, prematurity. The different groups are defined as: group I, HbA1c at first trimester <6.5% and <6% at third trimester, considered as reference group; group II, HbA1c at first trimester ≥6.5% and < 6% third trimester; group III, HbA1c at first trimester <6.5% and >6% at third trimester; group IV, HbA1c at first trimester ≥6.5% and ≥6% at third trimester.

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; LGA, large for gestational age; SGA, small for gestational age.
