Your chances are very good if it is planned and your blood sugars are under very good control. I asked my doctor about the chance my son will get it and he said less then a 6% chance a baby born to a non diabetic has a bigger chance of getting it.

I am 24 and I have had diabetes for 14 years. My first pregnancy was not planned and my blood sugars were not under control when I got pregnant. The nine months were extremely hard on me, my husband and our unborn child. I went into the hospital 7 different times, 4 of the times was because of dka. And the 7th time I went in I was 7 1/2 months along and was kept there until my daughter was born. Thankfully she born healthy and happy, just a little big (almost 9 lbs.), and the delivery was the easiest part of the nine months. With my second pregnancy it was planned and my blood sugars were controlled. This time around was much easier on me and my family. Our second daughter was also born healthy and happy. As far as i've been told though, a baby that has been born from a diabetic has no more chance of becoming diabetic than anyone else. (type 1)
