Confused - fetal weight, AC and uterine growth restriction

Three weeks ago, my fairy godfather was suspecting an intrauterine growth restriction. He said in the span of 17 days, AC has just increased by two days wide. FL has just increased by 10 days, while bpd was on track. I was given Heraclene and my amino acids were increased to 42 tablets per day. The estimated fetal weight was 1.8kg.

A week after (two weeks ago), the estimated fetal weight was still 1.8 kg. Obgyne told me not to limit my food intake. I should take insulin shots instead. She said my immunologist was exaggerating. She considers iugr only when there is two weeks lag in the development.

Last week, the fetal weight was 2.5kg. How come the weight gain was above 700g in the span of 7 days? The estimated fetal age based on AC is 36weeks. Perhaps her previous measurement was wrong. It was supposed to weigh more. How to measure the abdominal circumference? Is the baby in slant view? How to estimate the fetal weight? Obgyne told me I need insulin! I became guilty on the food i ate. Maybe I have eaten high protein but too much calorie. My blood sugar was normal most of the time. I admit, sometimes my blood sugar tends to spike. Should I really take insulin? I handed my obgyne my home blood sugar monitoring record. Wow! Nice!

Is there abnormality with my baby? Why the baby gained too much? This week the fetus estimated age is just 32 weeks based on AC. Its weight has dropped by 300g. Now, it weighs just 2.2 kg. Why? Did i eat too few? Will the abdominal circumference measurement be affected by baby's movement or breathing?

I went to see my endocrinologist this week, I complained my blood sugar  why sometimes my blood sugar drops to 65 and 70?  Why sometimes my insulin resistance was high? I am still under observation til now. This means I have been pricking 4x60 for days= 240 times already.

I miss my immunologist. He is missing. What has happened to him? Thank god, my crp became negative on its own. Oopps, lab error last time?
