When I was dx'ed with type 1 I already had three children and their chances of getting it were a major concern. My doctor told me that they have a less than 20% chance of getting it.
I have read that the chances are slightly higher if the father is type 1.
However, if I had been dx'ed before having children, I don't think I would have done anything differently. I don't want anyone to have type 1, but there are worse things a person can live with.
