Hi, Welcome to Health Care Magic. I have read carefully and analysed your concern. I understand you are worried about that some problems might inherit to your chilren. Let me assure you there is no harm to your marriage, if you are a diabetic or what blood group you have.

Regarding your childrens i must say, if you are a man with type 1 diabetes, the odds of your child developing diabetes are 1 in 17.

If you are a woman with type 1 diabetes and your child was born before you were 25, your child's risk is 1 in 25; if your child was born after you turned 25, your child's risk is 1 in 100.

If both you and your partner have type 1 diabetes, the risk is between 1 in 10 and 1 in 4.

In general, if you have type 2 diabetes, the risk of your child getting diabetes is 1 in 7 if you were diagnosed before age 50 and 1 in 13 if you were diagnosed after age 50.

Some scientists believe that a child's risk is greater when the parent with type 2 diabetes is the mother. If both you and your partner have type 2 diabetes, your child's risk is about 1 in 2.

In my opinion, there is no harm in marrying her. I wish you best of luck.

Hope I have answered your query. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you good health.
