Hey I was wonderin does anyone here have
any info on pregnancy incorporated w/
diabetes.
My husband and I are planning to have a
baby... Unfortunately he has diabetes for
15 years now. Is it a high risk that our
baby will have diabetes?
Please help

Your husband has diabetes so it's gonna be
in your childs genes. That doesn't mean
they will definitely develop it though.
I know absolutely nothing about being born
with diabetes so I don't know what the
chances of that for your children are.
But if you and your familly are all aware
it's a possibility for your child as they
grow up then at least you'll be sure of
what to look out for if it does develop.
My uncle used to give his children a blood
test every 6 months (he's diabetic too) so
that if they did develop it it could be
caught early. I wish i'd have caught
mine earlier, maybe if one of my parents
had had it I would have noticed sooner

son 5 years old and a 7 month old daughter
and they don't have any signs of diabetes
yet :d

children ages 7,6 and 3 . My children

injecting since he was 19,diabetes is very
strong in my family,so I try to monitor
what my children eat and drink,i push the
