General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI,
I have read your query & understood your concern too.
As both of you are healthy but your children have diabetes type 1 , I feel there must be family history of diabetes type 1/ genetic predisposition to diabetes by either or both of you..If both of you have strong family . .history.. there is possibility of getting diabetes to all children having it. But in case there is single parent family history.. each child has 50 % chance of not getting the disease.history
however I insist both of you should get investigated for diabetes & exclude/ confirm it
Also such possibility is more when a lady with type 1 diabetes / family history carries pregnancy at an earlier age than 25 years.
considering this point, if only mother has the family predisposition & her age is beyond 25 years ( which bound to increase as she has three children before .. ) the chance of children getting type 1 diabetes reduces considerably.
Thanks.
