Hi Dara,, Well first off your lucky to even think of having children,, there are diabetics like myself whom cant even think of having children. I was told a few yrs after being dx with diabetes to not even go there cuz i would digging my own grave,, so with that said i never did LOL. But i know MANY type 1 diabetics whom have very beatiful healthy babies all the time,, kinda makes me jealous but im sooooooooo happy for them in the same sense,, knowing i wanted at least 2-4 kids of my own. Anyways,, sorry for rambling,, it doesnt matter how good control you are to depend on if your child will be diabetic or not. My sister never got it and she came first dang it!! LOL But i did get it and my father never knew he was diabetic till about six months after i was born and i ended up getting it. I have heard but i know now its not nessarily true but that its suppose to skip every generation,, but i find that hard to believe when i got it and my father has it. Its a chance you take,, but if your child were to ever get diabetes remember you are their best teacher and can help them threw out the jouney,, not to mention how far it all has come and maybe a cure and if not how much easier it will be to control diabetes in the future then it is now or ever has been. Good luck,, take care Hugs Susie |
