I was the 1st type 1 in my family
Hi @M05 and welcome to the forum. In 1983 my wife and I went to see our GP to ask her opinion on the likelihood of a baby developing diabetes. She reckoned one in twelve (which was based on the outside chance of me having inherited it - I have since been assured by the genetics department at Addenbrooke's Hospital that I didn't inherit it ) and so we decided to go ahead. Our daughter Steph was born in 1984. She has severe reactions to all forms of gluten, so she has inherited an over-active immune system, but she and her daughter Amelia (born 15.11.2011) have shown no signs, thank God. To be honest, even were they to succumb, I look back on my life, having had Type 1 from 1959-2013, and the only regret I have is that I closed my mind until 1979. Life still gives me great pleasure and in our super-scientific and technological age, I think any children you might have could lead even better lives. Personally I would go for it. Good luck!Hi I'm a type 1 male.. I always wanted kids and now I'm afraid this will be passed onto them any males here who can advise me
Why is thatT1 since 1977. I wouldn't have children if I could do it all over again.
There are far too many people in this world for bringing someone with increased health risk into it to make any sense. There are more sensible and compelling ways to find fulfilment in life. Had two daughters and the older one is dong well. The younger one became T1 at 17 and committed suicide at 27. There had been a history of depression, but having uncontrolled T1 was certainly a factor in her giving up on life. Having children is not easy at the best of times. Throw T1 into the mix and all bets are off.Why is that
