What are the chances of a child getting diabetes if their parent is a Type 1 Diabetic?
Thanks!

If both parents have type 2 Diabetes, the child has 50% chance of getting diabetes.
If only 1 parent has type 2 Diabetes, the child has 1 in 7 chance of getting diabetes if the parent had diabetes before 50 and 1in 13 chance otherwise. The risk is believed to be greater if the parent with diabetes is the mother.
For Type 1 Diabetes:
If the father has diabetes, the child has a 1 in 17 chance of getting it.
If the mother has diabetes, the risk is 1 in 25 if the child was born when the woman was below 25 and 1 in 100 otherwise.
If the parent developed diabetes before 11, the risk is doubled.
If both parents have type 1 Diabetes, the risk is between 1 in 10 and 1 in 4.

M$Diabetes risk factors are high, if you have family history of diabetes, obese, low physical activity and bad food habits.
