[QUOTE="Robinredbreast, post: 412434, member: 44643"] Hello flick, it can be a little worrying. I tested my daughter on Sunday ( she is 12 and was happy for me to prick her finger) as she was feeling a bit under the weather and she was 5.3 :) after dinner. I am an older mum and the consultant in the hospital said that even though I am type 1 it doesn't mean my child will get the condition, but 2 years ago my granddaughter was diagnosed at 2 1/2 years old with type 1. It does appear to be hereditary, but may skip one or two generations. There is no evidence that it can be passed on to our children, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Try not to worry to much and just enjoy being a mum to your little girl and watching her up grow up :) Take care and best wishes RRB [/QUOTE]
