@-Artemis- Yes it is definitely possible to go full term with type 1! I did it and would do it again in a heartbeat, When I was pregnant I did a lot of research on risk and facts and figures for type 1 pregnancies and couldn't really find anything that was convincing me to get induced at 37 weeks just because I am diabetic. I was in the very lucky position that my obs was very very supportive all the way and I told her at about 25 weeks that I intend to go full term and wait "till the baby pops out" and also mentioned that obviously if there were any medical reasons (as in huge baby, pre-eclampsia or anything else) I don't have a problem being induced if baby has to come out but I didn't want it just because I was diabetic.
As the others say it's your body, your pregnancy and your baby so you can decide how you want to do it. Towards the end of pregnancy I had to go in every day for a CTG which was fine with me and had a couple of scans as well just to check that baby is happy. I was 40+2 when I started contracting and had a scan that afternoon (with contractions which was bit odd) and got sent into labour ward after the scan. I assumed baby would pop out that night or early next day which was unfortunately a very wrong assumption lol. It took 48hrs in total for baby to be born with all sorts of interventions in between (which according to my birth plan I wasn't keen on but baby had other ideas) so they broke my waters and I ended up with an epidural and the drip and to top it all off at the end I had to have an emergency section under GA as baby's blood levels weren't quite right so all my nice plans for a natural birth without interventions went out the window but our baby boy was fine and didn't need any help. Little Benjamin was born at 40+4 weighing 8lbs15 and my obs confirmed afterwards the only issue was that he was sitting in a slightly wrong position which could have happened to anyone and my body did everything right and nobody could have avoided the section. - my placenta looked perfect by the way as well as I specifically asked about it. I kept my pump on throughout and my sugars were perfect all the way.
Please don't let anyone scare you into induction if you don't want it. Do your research and make up your mind and be flexible (as I had to be lol) and feel free to contact me at any time xxx
