I am having a hard time with what your doctor told you
. I think that plenty of Diabetics have children past their twenties and, ultimately, are okay in the long run... I am 28 and would like to have a child one day, but I know that right now would not be the right time for me. I think not only do you have to be physically ready to have and bring up a child, but I think you also have to reach a mental readiness as well. Otherwise, I think it's not the best situation on you or the child.
It's true that no one really knows what is in store for them in the future, but that's what makes enjoying and living each day fully so important. I know it sounds corny, but we really do need to make the most of each day we are given. Those fears you have seem pretty normal, but don't let them interfere with the time you do have with your daughter and loved ones. And, don't forget, with technology and new treatments and medical care becoming available every day, I think we will be seeing diabetics live longer, healthier, and happier lives... It's extremely possible that you will see your daughter go through all those life moments that you want to be there for if you continue to take care of yourself as best as possible.
Take care
