My partner has Type 1 diabetes (the insulin dependent -non lifestyle dependent sort) and we are planning on having a child. Is this hereditary and is there anything that can be done to stop or lower the chances of it being passed down?

I’ve dated a girl who is Type 1 diabetic and has several health problems. It has crossed my mind that if I end up marrying her, maybe my kids would have diabetes. Her dad has diabetes and her great uncle died by diabetes as a child several years ago. If I ended up having kids with her, what are the chances of passing the disese to them?
