The study from December 2021 to March 2023. Samples were collected for Serum ferritin, c-reactive protein, serum soluble transferrin receptor protein (STFR) and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) during their first antenatal visit &lt;14 weeks. Repeat OGTT was conducted at 24\u201328 weeks for non-GDM population.
