You have clearly provided viable sperm, so, in some ways, your input is now over. Your job now is to provide support, assistance and encouragement to your wife. It is possible that the baby may inherit your tendency to diabetes, so perhaps as a family you should keep your sugar intake low and aim for the healthiest diet you can manage.
By the way, congratulations and hope it all goes well for you.

Thank you. I hope it is all right
 
Congratulations! When children get diabetes, they usually get it years after they are born, so nothing to worry about during pregnancy. A child with a diabetic father has a little bit more risk of developing diabetes at some point in life than children without diabetic parents, but most children won't get diabetes when they have a diabetic parent. So enjoy the pregnancy, get everything ready for your baby and be kind to your wife!
