plz help!
1) say , My man is type2 diabetes affected , when i have intercourse with him, What is the possibility of child not having the diabetes. Since my guy was diabetic when he was 24 yrs , So do my child have the chances to get diabetes at early stages itself, like during child birth, Childhood, adolescence, teenage or adult? is it possible that my child may not b diabetic at all or to be diabetic at later years like post 50 yrs?
2) Is it true that being diabetic doest matter at all 4 having intercourse and child birth. Even if my guy isn't diabetic during intercourse, is it true that the child may get it if the diabetes is present in the gene of my guy? OR No matter if the guy has diabetes, the Child may not get it all? What are the realities....
3)How best to prevent diabetes for kids? How can we make sure that the Child during pregnancy, post pregnancy, new born and kids and growing up children doesn't get affected by this?Early prevention may look for life time cure isn't? By not exercising and not in diet, I understand post 50 yrs, diabetic in adult is common and they can manage themselves...

Hi. I'm not a medical professional, just the parent of a kid with diabetes. With both types of diabetes, there appears to be a genetic component, but that doesn't necessarily mean a child will develop diabetes, and in particular not develop type 2 diabetes. Type 2 is primarily controlled with diet and exercise, so there is likely no greater risk of the child developing diabetes than anyone else. If the father is diabetic, either type 1 or 2, it is irrelevant to intercourse or child birth.
The best way to prevent type 2 diabetes in kids is to let them get plenty of exercise and make sure they eat a well balanced diet. For type 1 diabetes, there is nothing you can do, since it is not known what causes it.
