TYPE 1 DIABETIC MOMMYS

When giving birth were you put on anything to make sure you wouldn't have seizures while giving birth? With my first pregnancy I was out all day one day and went home and took a nap and didnt eat my snack and woke up with EMT's all around me saying I had a seizure. So the day I was induced they put me on something to make sure I dont have a seizure but my body felt like I was on fire! OVER ALL I'm wanting to know if this is mandatory or could I say no thank you?
