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.

my mom has diabetes. my 2nd mother has diabetes (not related..just my moms best friend) both my uncles have it, my grandma had it, my greate uncle had it
its major in my moms side of the family. and i know i'll have it later on in life. but i dont think its really that bad. as long as you take your insulin and/or pills, and eat a good diet, and watch your blood sugars.. its not something to really worry about from what i understand as long as you take care of it and i dont believe its something to not have kids over. maybe they wont get that certain gene! idk how old you are, or how long you've been in a relationship with this guy.. but dont let it keep you from having kids when you do get that far. i mean, i know i wont. my mom has been diabetic since she had my sister, 10 years ago. and had a kind of diabetes when she was pregnant with me and my brother (dont remember what its called) and shes moving along in life just great cuz she takes care of herself. and so is/was anyone else in my family that has it an old friend of mine has diabetes and it doesnt keep him from doing anything. yeah, it is a horrible disease but as far as i have seen its nothing to not have kids over |
