It will be better if you can wait for another week.
A Caesarean at 38 weeks is more safe.

You should go as per advised because both raised BP and diabetes causes adverse effects to baby. So better is termination of pregnancy

Risks n benifits need to be weighed
Better to delivery at 37 weeks
Continuation beyond that may be risky
Steroid injection is safe
