Beverage Intake in U.S. Women Across Pregnancy and Gestational Diabetes Risk (P11-010-19)

Objectives Sugar and artificially sweetened beverages (SSB/ASB), coffee, and tea are commonly consumed among U.S. pregnant women, but there is limited data on their use in pregnancy and gestational diabetes (GDM) risk and cardiometabolic profile. Our aim was to examine longitudinal associations between SSB, ASB, coffee, and tea intake in pregnancy with GDM risk. In two separate sub-samples, we also examined 1) associations between these beverages and cardiometabolic biomarkers and 2) plasma caffeine metabolites and GDM risk.
