Very, very small. If I remember corrcetly from my reading material after I was diagnosed, you only have a 3-6% chance of getting it if your biological father has it and 2-4% chance of your biological mother has it. Type 1 Diabetes has definitely been determined as being a hereditary disease, however it only develops after other certain environmental factors are introduced (of which the specific causes or factors are still unknown). Of the entire adult population in America, about 10% are diabetics [type 1 or type 2] (population of U.S. is approx 310 million). Of those diabetics, less than 10% are Type 1 (approx. 3 million).

∙ 15y agoType-1 diabetes is characterized as being genetic in origin, making family history important in determining the possibility of appearance in offspring. Since the child is born with an abnormally low number of pancreatic islet cells to produce insulin, its appearance may be as young as 2 years old and independent of diet. In this sense, children 2-15 years old are the most common group in which type-1 diabetes is observed.

∙ 14y agoDiabetes is very much genetic. I know that my fathers father had it, and now my father has it. As does my grandfather on my mothers side, and there is just as high of a chance my brother and I will have it to. Id get your kids checked. Your never to young to develop diabetes. A simple blood test should tell you if they have it or not, or even a device that will check your blood sugar. Those "pricking" machines. But it is always possible they will with there father having it.

Type 1 diabetes
What percent are kids likely to get diabetes when a parent has diabetes?
You have a 50% chance of getting diabetes if either your father or mother have Type 1 Diabetes. If one of them has Type 2, that has nothing to do with you and nothing gets passed on between your parents to you. [This is not strictly true. Type 2 diabetes does appear to have some genetic component, in that people with one or both parents who have Type 2 diabetes have a higher incidence of Type 2 diabetes than the population as a whole, but the exact causative factor is still under investigation, and it is unlikely to prove entirely genetic.]
