The important thing to do is have regular blood tests for your child thru the regular check ups with her doctor as he/she grows up. If it is not the same doctor you have, make sure they know you have diabetes. Maybe read some material about childhood diabetes and symptoms so you would know if you suspected anything and also how to avoid problems in the future. Other than that if your child eats properly and has plenty of exercise they can probably avoid it in the future. Your dr can go over family medical history and tell you the risk factors for your child specifically. There are various stages to diabetes and even insulin resistance and it progresses differently in different people so it is kind of hard to say one thing fits all. Definitely read all you can and talk to the family dr.
