Hello,
Yes, natural delivery is safer than induced one, but in your case, as you are diabetic it is a fair decision to induce the labor.
Kindly follow your gynecologist advice and go for it.
Just be relaxed, avoid stress, keep your self well hydrated.
Hope I have answered your query, let me know if I can assist you further.
