Hi!  I'm not a medical professional, just the parent of a kid with diabetes.  The chances you and your husband can have a baby are no different from anyone else's.  Diabetes does not affect that in the least.  As for whether or not the child will develop diabetes, I've read studies that say there is a slightly greater risk, and I've read studies that say there is no more risk than parents without diabetes.  Basically I don't think it's really known, and if it is true, the risk is only like a 1% increase.
