My 3 year old son has type 1 diabetes what's the chances my daughter will get it? not in the family at all

Yes and no: Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease similar to lupus, pernicious anemia, or rheumatoid arthritis. Type 1 can start at any age but many cases begin in childhood, adolescence or the early adult years. Medical experts have not yet discovered what triggers the attack by the immune system.

Around 6%: There is no good long answer. The child could have studies for anti-islet cell antibodies that are somewhat predictive.
