Do maternal Circadian Eating Time and Frequency Are Associated with Blood Glucose Concentrations during Pregnancy?
Increased maternal night-fasting intervals and reduced eating episodes per day were associated with decreased fasting glucose and 2-h glucose, respectively, in the late-second trimester of pregnancy.
