Oral insulin with diabetes? Okay, My DR said that if my sugars arent good by next appointment, then he is sending me to the hospital to start insulin (shots). I have many reasons for not wanting the shot. Not only that, but I dont see that there will be any harm to my child or me. I am 33.5 weeks. My sugars have been controlled VERY well. Not above 150. And that only happened once. I didnt get diagnosed w/ gestational diabetes until I was 30 weeks. I dont get any wierd syptoms when sugars are too high/low like other diabtics do. I dont eat many carbs like asked. I dont eat sweets. I am measuring 32 weeks, and have actually lost weight. Ive lost probably a total of 6 pounds within a month. But I have gained +28 thus far. So, Im in the 25-35 range. Cant pregnant women take ORAL (pill) insulin? My midwife told me that its not good, but Ive known of other pregnant women to take the oral form. 
Can anyone give me some insite on this? 
Thanks.
