Does a child inherit type 1 diabetes if the father has it?

Patient's question:

Father has now been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and has developed retinopathy. Now there is a two-year-old son, and I don't know if it will be inherited to the child.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, diabetes does not have a certain hereditary nature, so there is a possibility of heredity. Suggestions: It is not certain that it will definitely occur, so do not worry too much.
