My 35 years old husband recently diagnosed diabetes. I want to conceive so is there any chance of developing diabetes to my upcoming child now or later in life?

Question

Chances for your child to get diabetes is as same as for everyone. Diabetes has few pre existing reasons to develop except hereditary. They are sedentary lifestyle, high calories food consumption, stress, less sleep, bad habits etc. You don't have to worry about it now. Develop good eating and exercise habits for yourself and your husband for your kids to see and follow. Children usually follow parents on eating habits. And have a pre planned pregnancy with his good sugar control. That should help you.
