Smudgy - I'm sorry to have upset you and potentially been bit of information overload. Let us know how you go with your appointment and just remember that this will all come to an end with a special little present waiting at the end which will just make all this a distant memtory. Chin up and keep smiling and thinking about that little bubba that is waiting to meet you.

Regarding the induction talk and monitoring. My OB was really happy with my GD control and so was my DE. In fact I only saw my DE twice in the time from diagnosis to delivery. My OB said that because my levels were all fine that I'd be treated just like any other PG woman. He would even let me go a little over my DD ONLY if my levels were still good, my BP was all good and no other weird signs. I DID NOT have any monitoring happening except for my weekly OB appointments from 36 weeks onwards. As it turned out I went into labour naturally myself and delivered DD without any complications. My labour was 10 hours (My first baby) and DD was 6lb 14oz (3.1kg). So having GD does not mean you WILL HAVE to have induction or even a c/section and doesn't mean a big baby. I must say I had a fabulous OB and I will go back to him for any other bubba's so just chat with your OB to see what they will let you do about this stuff as it does seem to vary from OB to OB. When I was still PG alot of the girls were discussing this and pretty much everyone had a different response because everyone is individual and GD affects everyone differently.

P.S. Yes 34weeks is TOO EARLY for an induction. I would have to think that was a typo as I have never heard of someone being induced that early unless the baby or mother were in immediate danger, not because of GD.
