More than likely they will. I have a friend who went through the same think and she was induced right at 37wks. Her diabetes got so bad it was the only option she had. But the lord took care of her! She delivered a healthy (10-pounder!) and the diabetes went away almost immediately. If your doc thinks it'll put u at a higher risk they probably go ahead and induce u if u and your baby are healthy enough. Best wishes!
