Hi.... The genes that causes diabetes can be transfered genetically to the offspring. But unlike sickle cell anaemia where the percentage of affected offspring is known, one cannot predict the chances of diabetes affected child in diabetic parents.. Generally the chances of diabetes is high in the offspring of diabetic affected parents.  Though medically it is not advisable for two diabetics to have relationship, there no sufficient proof available to prove otherwise.
