Thinking if switching OB due to GD

I had my first OB appointment today after finally being seen by my MFM. I begged to be seen and it took over 3 weeks to get squeezed in to the MFM to do anything about fasting numbers between 115-130 and 1 hour post-meal numbers of 125-150 despite diet changes. I started insulin twice a day a week ago and my numbers look exactly the same. MFM will review tomorrow. At my appointment with my OB today, she mentioned twice that my baby could die from GD. I left absolutely stunned. I went round and round with her office about getting a referral and now she tells me this with no further time for an explanation?!?!? I'm almost 33 weeks. Would you consider switching over something like this? From what I have read mortality rates are still very low with GD so why would she say this to stress me out? With everything that has happened, I'm just not sure I trust her. She and her nurse also both tried to give me info on getting a tdap despite my allergy to the pertussis vaccine. I'm just worried about finding another doctor to take me so late in the game. Thoughts?

    I was going to switch bc I did not like the HR dr my OB referred me to. (I was constantly seeing student Nurse Practitioners and Nurse Practitioners that didn't seem to care. I was also about 32 weeks.) But many clinics would not take me that late in the game bc I was considered HR. Fortunately I started seeing an actual Dr at the next visits and never felt the need to leave again.
    If you are uncomfortable with them it wouldn't hurt to ask around at other clinics.

    I have a meeting with a new doctor at a different practice. I don't like 2 of the 3 at my current office and the staff has been so awful as well. It was a big relief to even make the appointment so I'm hoping I click with the new doctor and can just be done with the old office.
