Insulin does not cross placental barrier, so don't worry about insulin affecting the foetus.

Actually it is high levels of maternal blood glucose which crosses into foetus, burdening its pancreas to produce more insulin which leads to development of over sized baby. This happens only when gestational diabetes is not managed properly.

Tanupriya has not mentioned if it is her first child or it is repeat pregnancy.

I fail to understand why diagnosis was made so late ? Forget it. Every thing is going on perfectly, so no worries,except perhaps you have to undergo CS.
