[QUOTE="ExtremelyW0rried, post: 1658545, member: 429908"] Yes I hugely regret my kids. I was told about 1 in100 risk given my own circumstances (age on diagnosis, age when had children) but no one seemed to take into account I am second generation t1. Turns out it lots higher. Maybe as much as 50%. So there's a good chance I've ruined their lives too. They'd have been better off not being born and given the time again I absolutely wouldn't be so selfish as to have them so I can see why you feel as you do. I always wanted children so I'd had been very sad not to have any but I can see now how selfish that was of me and ultimately if either of them are diagnosed that will be much much worse than not having had them in the first place.
