Induction vs natural

So I have already been told that I am getting induced early due to being high risk (gestational diabetes controlled on medications). I was wondering if anyone has any insight on induction using pitocin vs trying to do a membrane sweep first prior to your induction date? With my first LO I went in for a traditional induction (80% and 1cm when I went in. ) where they tried cervidil then broke my water and started pitocin. Thanks for your feedback in advance!
