My boyfriend has diabetic genes(him and his father are diabetic)...My mother tells me that if I ever plan on having children with him, it would be selfish towards our kids on account that they might have diabetes also. Since its not a terminal illness, I didn't really stress it...But after a while it got me thinking...I see what his dad goes through (he had his leg below the knee and his right foot amputated) and it makes me wonder if having kids is worth the hardships they may go through as well. I don't know how to handle this. I know I'm still young but I know I want my own children some day. I love him so much and I know I would love to build a family with him some day.

If its just teenage love I wouldent worry about it. If you are older and consider getting married and having kids its a bigger issue. Like Suzzette said: "if you don't treat yourself right, and you don't take care of it, it will cause other illnesses and you will die" the chances of that are slim but you just have to make sure that your kids will take good care of it, if they do, you have nothing to worry about. My grandpa has diabeties and hes perfectly normal. Its a disease you can live with.
