Association between protein intake and sources in mid-pregnancy and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus
The intake of total protein and animal protein, especially eggs, dairy products, and fish, can reduce the risk of GDM while consuming unprocessed red meat increases the risk. There is no significant association between the intakes of plant protein, processed meat, and poultry meat and the occurrence of GDM. The results of this study are expected to provide a basis for precise nutritional education, health guidance during pregnancy, and early prevention of GDM.
