Future offspring..

So many people think that my future children will have JD, but that is not true!  There is only less than a 3% chance that my offspring will have JD.  Diabetes Type 2 is a different story; that is hereditary.  What I have is not.  Like I said before in a previous post, the way I obtained JD was by CHICKEN POX attacking my pancreas.  Who would have know that CHICKEN POX would have affected me so greatly?!  NOT ME- or anybody around me.  My future offspring will only have a 3% chance of having JD.  This is a bit personal, but people who have JD and want to have children will have to be extra careful.  The first tirmester is the most critical because that is when the baby is developing what is most important.  Also, blood sugar readings must be *PERFECT* before and throughout the pregnancy.   If blood sugars are not *perfect*, the following can happen, miscarriage or an overweight baby with Diabates Type 2. 

Many JD's have healthy children, I will be one of those many woman. :)
