Yes, type 1 diabetes can be hereditary if father or mother are also type 1 diabetic. If father is Type 1 diabetic, the chances would be 4% and if mother is Type 1 diabetic, the chances would 6%. If both are Type 1 diabetic, then the chances would be 8% in their children. However as she is pregnant, her type 1 DM should be regularly followed up with an Endocrinologist and her blood sugars has to be regularly checked and should be kept under good control. Thank you!
