Question: From Spokane, Washington, USA:
My husband is 45 years old and is a Type 1 diabetic, diagnosed at age 35. Our daughter that is 24 years old was diagnosed Type 1 diabetic at age 10. She just had a baby a year ago, pregnancy went fine, had a perfect little baby. Is there much chance of her baby developing Type 1 diabetes?
Answer:
Without doing any further testing of your husband, daughter or grandchild, the risk is around 6% or, to put it another way, not terribly likely.
[Editor's Note: For additional information, see The Risk of Developing Type 1 Diabetes. JSH.]
