Worried about my genes

So, I'm a 19 (going to 20) woman, last year I got diagnosed with DM1, it was really hard and still is, but now I'm definitely more used with the routine, outside eventual sadness over it. I'm now thinking about both my genetic past and future. The thing is that my diagnosis was a surprise to everyone because literally no one in my family have it, not kidding when I say in at least 5 generations from both sides there's no sight of DM1 (some of DM2, but it's not related), maybe a relative that died of it without the knowledge of the family, but it's just speculation.

So, I assumed it was just a mutation and I'm an exception im this case, but, now, what it means to my future? Do I have the same % of chance to "give" my future kids DM1 rather than someone with DM1 that have it straightly from one of his parents and/or the grandparents?

(Plus, I did some research on Google, but the ai is kinda dumb because if I search the same thing with different words it gives me different percentages)
