title: Increase in body mass index during pregnancy and risk of gestational diabetes.
abstract: We recorded gestational weight gain (GWG) and change in body mass index (BMI) at 28 weeks gestation in 343 vs. 339 women with and without gestational diabetes (GDM). GDM was associated with a greater increment in BMI, but not with increased GWG in kilograms.
