[QUOTE="SophiaW, post: 121491, member: 13451"] We have no family history of diabetes and yet my daughter got it. There are many other illnesses and "disorders" a child can get. Both my children have a mild form of autism, we have no family history of autism that we know of so that diagnosis also came as a surprise. Your children might be more at risk of getting diabetes, they might not get it at all, your children might get it even if both of you are not diabetic or have no family history of diabetes. What I'm trying to say is don't worry about what might happen, enjoy your life and take what it throws your way in your stride. Having a child with type 1 is harder but so is living with any of the other things life might throw you or your children's way. Looking after a child with Type 1 is more complex but it's not impossible and we still have plenty of fun along the way just like any other family. [/QUOTE]
