    The child might inherit the gene that controls diabetes. But you are the one that needs to be worried. If you plan on being here when that child grows up, and plan on reducing the child's risk factors of diabetes, start now.

    You need a healthy lifestyle, a balanced diet, an exercise program, and if you are overweight, a weight loss program. When the child is older, you will be needing to set a good example, and teach it a healthy lifestyle. The whole family can do a diabetic diet and a exercise program, it won't hurt.

    Good luck, and best wishes.

    Get yourself together, so you can be the best role model there is.

    no your child will be fine through pregnancy! although there is a possibility they could develop diabetes in their life.

    check out this link about the odds of developing it. its on the website for the american diabetes association and it gives information on both type 1 and type 2.
