Hello Im a Type 1 and have been for the past 22 years (diagnosed at 16).
My wife and I are expecting twins and I was curious if anyone was aware of what the probability is for children inheriting the condition.
My wife is not diabetic but I wasn't sure if the probability was increased based on the parents status (i.e. female or male having higher or less odds of passing on the condition)..
I'm the first one in my family that has diabetes, so as far as I'm aware there is no history on my side. Again I didn't know how this influenced the odds. I was also told that the disease often skipped a generation?
