Will my ob gyn report me for this?

I told my prior ob gyn/nurse practitioner that I used insulin for a short period of time prior to being pregnant to manage hyperglycemia I had that fortunately went away. However, the way it looks in my adressograph is that I was currently taking it despite being interviewed by the doctor and only saying I took prenatal vitamins. So there are conflicting listings in my file that my new ob gyn has. I just thought that they were taking a quick history and included the recent meds I was taking in the past year. I weened self off of insulin prior to learning I was pregnant by several months. I was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic at 20, but stopped treating it with meds very early on yet prior to being pregnant at 30 started experiencing hyperglycemia. I have currently went to a doctor that just established I'm merely pre diabetic/glucose intolerant and since I lost the weight must have put the type 2 in remission. I have since went to a new ob gyn that took down a new history and did not include the insulin because I was not currently taking it. However, this ob gyn has my old records. Considering the adressograph from the previous ob gyn can I be reported to DCF for prental neglect/abuse? Is taking insulin that isn't prescribed to you while pregnant abuse/neglect? It appears I took it while pregnant but did not. I did clarify this to my ob who has not said anything since. Regardless, I just worry because taking insulin is risky and don't want to look reckless. Do they even regard your past folder?
