Congrats on the babies and hopefully all works out well for you.
I don't think there are any conclusive studies that would show the chances of a child having diabetes when their grandparents have diabetes. I could be wrong. I do know though that if one twin is diagnosed, the chance of the other twin getting it is between 25-50%, which in the medical community are very high odds.
I do know if the mom has diabetes there is about a 4% chance of the children, not sure if that increases or decreases with having twins. Does the father have diabetes? If so, that can greatly increase the chances.

Diabetes is an Art, NOT a Science. You must master the control by skills and not by knowledge alone.
