Yes. An early Caesarean is better for pregnant women.
But where is the Diabetes?
You had random blood sugar level. It is normal.
You never got blood sugar F & PP done. You don't have HbA1c report. You are just taking Metformin which is a very weak anti-diabetic especially if used alone.
So please first confirm your diagnosis and then you may have pre term Caesarean.
