While diabetes has a crinkle of genetic susceptibility, as long as your husband is managing his diabetes well (as described by the following blood test parameters) :
If you are fearful that your baby will have diabetes, research does not support he/she is at higher risk than any other newborns. While, a person inherits susceptibility, when there is a family history for Ty1, does not mean that individual will develop this disease. TY1 screening may help predict the 'risk' however, several other variables figure into assigning risk, as to determine the % of actually being diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus? Hope this helps.
