3% chance is the basic number for a mother with T1. It's 1% for a child with
no T1 in the family.

If you had your child older than 30, the odds go down slightly. If you
were diagnosed before age 11, the odds go up slightly.

If the father has T1, the odds go up to 9%.

That said, I am a moderator on a small board for T1 mothers. There are 20 mothers in the group. Two of the children have been diagnosed with T1.

Do any of you have your children on Vitamin D supplements?

I'm the only T1 in the family and I conceived my baby (currently 8 months pregnant) when I was over age 25. So, they tell me the odds of my baby developing Type 1 is the same as a "normal" woman's child.
