I had GD with my daughter and I was just diet controlled. Had to do pokes 4 times a day and record my eating and eat specific amounts of cans of course but no insulin or anything else. My dr wouldn’t let me go past 40w really so she was going to induce me the day after my due date. Thankfully it wasn’t needed as I had my daughter at 38+2 but they typically don’t like to let moms with GD go past 40w from my experience and seeing what other moms in the FB GD groups I was in were saying. They did a final ultrasound for me at 37+5 and she weighed 6 pounds 12 ounces they said and she was born 6 and 13. I am glad I didn’t end up having to make the decision to induce though!

I had GD diet controlled, no medication with my second child. I wasn’t induced, she came on her own at 39+5. She was 9lbs even, my smallest child but only one I had GD with. You can ask them not to induce you if everything is ok, all they can say is no.

Yes, this is my first time with GD and I’m scheduled to be inducted October 7th at 39+1

Yes ! I had it with my daughter(whole 9 yards - they changed my diet, had me pricking fingers and logging levels , put me on glyburide(I think - this was years ago) and came in weekly to be on the monitor.
They had me induced at 39 weeks “so she wouldn’t get too big” and let me tell you it was THE WORST .. the contractions came on too strong and too fast. By the time they did the epidural it didn’t even work so they took it out and basically said “oops sorry” I turned on my side and shut my eyes and screamed for soooo many hours til a nurse walked in and told me to stop bc I was scaring the lady next door. My body started pushing before I was dilated enough but my dr didn’t believe me and literally got mad and said it’s too early to push and I was like I literally can’t stop it my body is just doing it ! So she got mad and sends the midwife in who let me push while she basically kept her fingers in checking. Then boom baby time and I was so exhausted I kept blacking out with each push. Got her head out and felt like I couldn’t keep going. Blacked out again came too and she was cutting me and sticking her arms in me to pull my baby out. She looked at the nurse and called some type of code and literally about 10 more nurses came in and surrounded my baby . I was so out of it but I remember I started crying cause I heard them say she had been out to long without air . They eventually got her to breath and that bs was over lol I almost choked on a cheeseburger they brought me while they were cleaning her up. I will NEVER be induced again unless it will hurt my baby not to cause that was straight up bs !!
She wasn’t even that big she was 7.14

Yes. Both times at 39weeks because I had to be medicated at the end. BUT my water broke the morning before I was to be induced with my second, so I never had to be. Most likely if I didn’t need the medication I wouldn’t have had to been. The last few weeks my body goes crazy.
