Oral insulin with diabetes? -

Hello Guys,
DR said that if my sugars aren't good-by next appointment, then he is sending me to the hospital to start insulin. I have many reasons for not wanting the shot. Not only that, but I don't 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 15o, and that only happened once. I didn't get diagnosed w/ gestational diabetes until I was 30 weeks. I don't get any weird symptoms when sugars are too high/low like other diabetics do. I don't eat many carbs like asked. I don't eat sweets. I am measuring 32 weeks, and have actually lost weight. I have lost probably a total of 6 pounds within a month. But I have gained +28 this far. So, I am in the 25-35 range. Can't pregnant women take ORAL insulin? My midwife told me that its not good, but I have known of other pregnant women to take the oral form. Can anyone give me some in site on this?
Thank You
