My dad was 34, the same age that I am now. I guess I need to modify my search for husband/ father of my children to a young stud to decrease my child's risk.

Wow, that is interesting. My 2 year old was just diagnosed, and her dad is 38. Report It

It's impossible to tell because type 1 isn't hereditary.
