You're 3 weeks pregnant? Well congrats and that's very early to find out since your period isn't even due for another week. Well to answer your question I need more info. Does he have type 1 or type 2. Type 1 can be passed on to the baby. Type 2 is a little different has to do more with his lifestyle as far as his weight, and what he eats, etc...

Is his diabetes type one or type two? If it is type two - don't worry. It can be prevented and controlled with a lifetime and lifestyle of good nutrition and exercise.
If it is type 1: (from jdrf.org), then
Is type 1 diabetes hereditary?
Ninety percent of children who develop type 1 diabetes actually have no relative with the disease. Thanks to studies of families, researchers now can identify at birth when a baby carries some of the genes that indicate risk factors for type 1 diabetes. Certain genes called HLA markers are associated with diabetes risk. If a child is born with such markers, his or her risk of developing type 1 diabetes is about the same as if he or she had a sibling with type 1 diabetes, even though no other family member may have the disease. There are other genes that also create risk for juvenile diabetes that have not yet been identified.At most, only 15 percent of people with type 1 diabetes have an affected first-degree relativea sibling, parent, or offspring. Research suggests that genes account for less than half the risk of developing type 1 diabetes.

I don't think any person is actually "ready" to have a child. There are so many responsibilities involved that even thinking about it all is very overwhelming. With that said, you two may not be ready to have a baby ever if you think there's a right time for it. What your husband needs to understand is that YOU will be the one who suffers physically from the abortion and mentally the anguish will never leave you. It seems from your post that he is very selfish for not truly considering your feelings. An abortion is not just an easy fix to this situation, because any doubts you are having will torment you later on. How many "what ifs" will you be able to handle? It took him too to make this baby, and his part of the responsibility is understanding you and believing in your marriage. I got pregnant out of wedlock when my husband and I both worked minimum wage jobs and were 23 years old. Having our daughter not only gave me the incentive and ambition to go through nursing school, but made us the two happiest people on the planet. I cannot imagine life without her and now her sister. My only regret is that I had never had a child sooner...it's the best thing that ever happened to both of us. Even though it seemed like the end of the world at the time. Do what's in your heart. He'll come around; you'll see. Best of luck to you and your husband.

If it is type 1, then the baby only has a 6-8% chance of inheriting it from the father, and the number is lower if it is the mother that has it. If it is type 2, then it is a 12% chance. A healthy life style can help reduce the risks of type 2, but if their is a strong family history, sometimes no matter what you do, you still get it. My father is one of the ones that did everything right to try to prevent it, and has had diabetes for 13 years.

It depends on the type of diabetes. Type 1 has a greater hereditary factor. The risk rate that your child would be diabetic is about 6-8% since it is a risk from the father. Type two diabetes is less influenced by hereditary.

Diabetes is usually treated through a combination of diet (low sugar), exercise and medications/insulin. Read here https://tr.im/WoLAv
Milder cases can be controlled with just diet an/or exercise while more severe cases require meds or insulin as well.
