Hi,
I'm new to this forum, I have an 8yr old daughter who is T1, diagnosed Nov 2011, after being in DKA, and stabilised at Great Ormond Street. Thankfully we have excellent control.
My fiancé has a 10yr old from a previous relationship, who is also T1, diagnosed at 18 months. My brother is also T1, diagnosed in his 20's.
We have a 5 month old daughter and I am now wondering what is the realistic likelihood of her developing T1 as well? Anyone have two or more children with T1? Although my daughters bg control is spot on, and is otherwise healthy and happy, I dread the thought of having to see another child prodded and poked, and stuck with needles. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
