Does my boyfriends diabetes make it harder for us to get pregnant?

Variety 1 diabetes, the variety your boyfriend is said to have, can also be inherited. But, variety 1 diabetes requires insulin injections in order to stay alive! variety 1 diabetes is associated with some specific configurations of the genes in the DNA. variety 1 diabetes is most often diagnosed in childhood (middle school [like age 12 - as with your boyfriend] and early elementary school years) but can grow and any age, but not so often after age 40 years (of course that's the time type 2 diabetes can develop if one is heavy and inactive). If one has the genetic profile and propensity, it does NOT mean one WILL develop variety 1 diabetes, but does certainly increase the likelihood.
