I had GD with my son. Delivered him via C-section at 39 weeks. He was big, 10.3lbs at birth. Mine and his sugars were fine after birth and he was healthy and had no problems.

I have type 1. I had HUGE babies so 2 c sections lol. I had my first at 38 weeks exactly because I had pr eclampsia. The second one was a scheduled c section at 37 weeks 4 days. Both kids had low blood sugars when thy were born but that’s it. My second was in the NICU but mainly because he had fluid in his lungs.

I know it's secondhand, but my sister has type 1. Her son did have difficulty regulating his sugars at first, and needed to be in, whatever the step below NICU is, for a few days. (He was also born blue and my sister needed a blood transfusion, but that isn't necessarily diabetes related, as she had a c-section because she wasn't dilating. And apparently she was born blue, too.) She was going to be induced early but her water wound up breaking a few days before the date. Her son will be two in a few weeks and aside from weight gain issues in the beginning, he's doing great. She's got everything back on track and under control, too.

I had to be induced at 37 weeks because of GD and IUGR. Henry had no problems with blood sugar, he was just extra tiny because of the IUGR. Labor wasn't much different they just ty to speed things up so you don't get too low on sugars. And you get popsicles!
