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.

Yeah see in my familly it's always been the men that carried or developed diabetes. I'm the only female in my family that carries it... lucky me. But yeah I'm still going to risk the kids because even if both parents have Diabetes and everything, doesn't mean the kid will get it. And if my kids were to have it I'd still treat them like regular kids.

but yeah don't freak about it unless you two are seriously considering marriage and stuff.
