A member asked:
I am pregnant. my husband has had type 1 diabetes since he was 6. he says usually it skips a generation. what are the chances our child will develop?

5-6%: The risk of your baby having diabetes given the information provided starts at about 5-6%, but may be somewhat higher given the onset of his T1DM at 6 years of age. This risk does not skip generations, despite what some think. You could consider speaking with a genetic counselor if you have any further questions. Good luck!
