Table 2 Umbilical cord blood glucose, and 0.5 and 2 h peripheral blood glucose in the two groups

	GDM group (N = 538)	Other at − risk group (N = 378)		p
Umbilical cord blood glucose (mmol/L)	5.06 ± 1.23	4.68 ± 1.08	-4.567	0.000
0.5 h peripheral blood glucose (mmol/L)	4.12 ± 0.94	3.81 ± 0.92	-4.79	0.000
2 h peripheral blood glucose (mmol/L)	3.72 ± 0.71	3.48 ± 0.65	-5.018	0.000
