Hey Melinda, sorry to hear about the GD. I have been on insulin since 15 weeks and although it has been a pain, it has also become quite routine. I am taking 40 units of actrapid before dinner and 40 units of protophane before bed. My GTT was normal except for the morning fasting reading. It took awhile to find the right dosage to keep my levels down, but I haven't had to change my amounts in about 2 months. So just increase your protophane until you start gettin gyour readings under the magic number (5.5 for me). There isn't a lot you can do to bring this reading down as I used to find that no matter what I had to eat before I went to bed, even if it was something a bit naughty, it didn't affect my morning reading. I asked my specialist about this and he said that some people tend to make sugar when they are asleep, so no matter what they do, they can't bring their morning fasting reading down. So the only thing to do is to keep upping your dose until you find the right amount. Once you find the right amount you might not have to increase it again. I haven't. And as for induction, I think if your baby is actually showing being slightly smaller than normal, there should be no reason why you should be induced. I thought that people were only induced early with GD because of the risk of big babies, and if yours is normal then there should be no problem. Talk to your OB about why he wants to do you early and see what he says.
Good luck
