I was on about 120 units of insulin a day by the time my bub was born, but my BSL's were almost always within limits. I had the sizing scan and it showed he was about the 60th percentile and was born 8 pound at 39+3 weeks. I made the doctor print out some info from the med database that the hospital uses. It suggested that as long as BSL's were controlled there was no more risk to the baby than a non-diabetic pregnancy. It also said there was little proof that induction provided a better outcome for macrosomic babies, it only led to more incidence of c-section. I would send it to you but we are in full packing mode to shift house and I have no idea where it has gone to.
I would definitely suggest changing Ob's, you don't need that sort of pressure. If you can control it with diet and your BSL's are within a normal range then I don't see how your pregnancy is different to any other.
