Hi mama, Do have a good chat with your gynae regarding this matter. I don’t have the experience to share but here are some great articles: This one speaks of the dosage of epidural and it’s effect on diabetic patients - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24284841/ I like this article from NHS too: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/type-1-diabetes/pregnancy-and-giving-birth/ I think, from the readings, the main concern for an induction would be macrosomia but this does not necessarily mean you must be induced as there are definitely more cons than pros where inductions are concerned. Do read up to explore your options ya? Take care!
