I've never had kids, he has a son who was diagnosed at age 6 with diabetes... he's so afraid of passing it on to a child again if I were to become preggers. Does anyone know anything about odds and new studies and stuff? I'm freaking out if we can't have kids (healthy ones)!!!!!

Diabetes in the father does not affect the developing baby during pregnancy. However, depending on the type of diabetes the father has, the baby might have a greater chance of developing diabetes later in life.
