Is Type 1 Diabetes Hereditary? The Genetics Explained Read Article...
A myT1Dteam Member

I became diabetic when I was 9 and had my son at 30. I got pregnant easily. Once I was pregnant, I worked with my ob and endocrinologist to maintain good control. My son was born happy and healthy but was butt first (still is at times! :)! ❤️! ). I had a c-section since he was breech but all went amazingly well! Just remind her to take care and watch those blood sugar levels!!

Yes! If she keeps her blood sugars under good control, she should be able to have children. She'll have to discuss this with her doctor, of course.
