i too had GD (insulin dependent) and was induced with gels at 39 weeks. i had the first lot put in at 3pm (20/01/09) which started a few mild contractions (nothing too bad) then another lot of gels put in at 10pm which ramped up the contractions but were still bearable. at 12.55am i rolled over in bed and my waters broke - no further induction methods were used. by 1.00am i was in active labour and DD was born vaginally with no assistance, no tears at 8.00am (21/01/09)

GL!!
