A member asked:
What is the probability of a child getting type 1 diabetes if both parents do not have it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unpredictable: I guess that it is the same chance as anyone else. Type 1 is uncommon in children and comes on later in life depending on how much is genetic and how much may be viral in nature.

Both of my parents have diabetes. The doctor said 1 of us (my sister) would likely get it too. Would we really inherit it, even if food is controlled?
