My fiancee has type 1 diabetes. What issues should I be concerned with if we have children someday? What are the odds that the children will have it?

well to the answer of "don't worry, kids won't have it" I believe that statment to be wrong. I believe that there is going to be a small chace that your future children might get it at a young age, but is unlikely. Although, throughout there lifetime they should make sure to watch what they eat and exercise regulary. The largest chances of your children getting diabetes is as they grow older and with a parent having it, they should keep a really close eye on it in order to treat it as soon as possible when / if they do get diabetes.

There's low chances of future kids getting diabetes. But as husband having diabetes of course doctors should know. Then when baby is born, they'll check the baby for diabetes and other concerns:
Best of Luck

It's better to get to work early, as diabetics tend to lose their wood over time due to neurotransmitter damage.
There are ways to reinstate good wood for diabetics, but that's another question.
As far as the rugrats getting DB, I believe it's around 25% chance. Generation skips are common.
P.S. Why is it when I answer these reproductive questions, it goes dead silent? Never another reply.

Don't worry about it...
Kids probably won't have it...
