Dietary cholesterol and egg intake are associated with the risk of gestational diabetes: a prospective study from Southwest China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An increasing body of evidence suggests that cholesterol intake increases during pregnancy and may influence the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
