The association between intake of dietary lycopene and other carotenoids and gestational diabetes mellitus risk during mid-trimester: a cross-sectional study
Regular intake of foods packed with carotenoids may help hinder the development of gestational diabetes mellitus in pregnant women.
This study explored the relationship between high dietary exposure to carotenoids and the propensity of acquiring gestation diabetes mellitus (GDM) during pregnancy. Researchers utilized nutritional and health data obtained from 1,978 pregnant women.
Researchers noted that pregnant women who consumed the highest amounts of foods rich in lycopene and other carotenoids had the lowest risk of gestational diabetes. This study documented a protective association between the consumption of carotenoid-containing foods and gestational diabetes mellitus.
