  1. GDM: gestational diabetes; ISSI-2: insulin secretion sensitivity index during pregnancy; Matsuda: insulin sensitivity index of Matsuda during pregnancy; 1/HOMA-IR: the reciprocal of the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance during pregnancy. The p-values are adjusted for age, BMI, excessive weight gain, ethnicity and multi-parity, P-values in bold are significant values
