Hi,
Based on the history you have shared of diabetes and the ultrasound report also suggests that the baby is large for gestational age. This is common in diabetics that the baby is of large size that is macrosomic baby. For that you don't need to panic, just keep a good blood sugars control, avoid excess fluids and consult your gynecologist as macrosonic babies are usually delivered through C section.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
