Question: What are the chances of my baby developing type 1 diabetes if my husband has it!?
Answers:
To the other answerer: Your "mom" is dead wrong!.

To the question asker: In general, if you are a man with type 1 diabetes, the odds of your child getting diabetes are 1 in 17!. If you are a woman with type 1 diabetes and your child was born before you were 25, your child's risk is 1 in 25; if your child was born after you turned 25, your child's risk is 1 in 100!.

Your child's risk is doubled if you developed diabetes before age 11!. If both you and your partner have type 1 diabetes, the risk is between 1 in 10 and 1 in 4!.
