Induced for Gestational??

I'm 37+4. Failed my Glucose test right from the start.. After I started testing blood- 6 times a day, they were still kinda high. Doctor put me on insulin at morning and night.. They were doing really good for a while but the doctor upped my dose Wednesday because they had gotten worse.. From what I can see the last couple days they are still high.. Doctor wants my numbers tomorrow..

My question--- do you think the doctor will induce or try upping my dose again for another week??
I have an induction date for Aug 9.. But I think if they are bad the doctor would just induce now???

Anyone get induced because the insulin wasn't controlling it??

I have gd but im not on insulin. Still they consider me high risk &wanna induce me at 39 weeks... Even then they have to check my amniotic fluid to see if baby's lungs are ready. Even though 37 is full term most doctors dont want to risk anything &will try to control your gd for a little longer.
