You can have kids, Diabetes isn't all that highly genetic. I think your children will only have a 7% chance of getting onto this wild ride... and that isn't that much higher than the general population.

Erin-
Does that account for just type ones? I've heard that only 5% of diabetic people have type 1, the rest have type 2. So it would make the general population go much lower than that about 20 times. It gives me chills to think how tormenting and life altering this could be for me if i had it by say four years old. I would definatly not be the same person i am today. I dont know if i could put a kid through the pain of this disease, especially at childhood, not only there whole life. That 7% means a lot to me and is probally enough for me to be too scared my future son/daughter would develop it to have kids.
