Among women with diabetes, dietary heme iron intake was negatively associated with HDL-c(r = −0.062,p = 0.006), and dietary total/non-heme iron intake was positively associated with Triglyceride, ALT(r = 0.068,p = 0.002; r = 0.063,p = 0.005) and AST levels (r = 0.054,p = 0.015; r = 0.050, p = 0.025). Here, GPT is linked to diabetes mellitus.
