Hi, Thanks for asking.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion a father having type 2 diabetes does not increase the chances of having an abnormal baby. But if mother has type 2 diabetes or gestational diabetes then it increases the chances of having a baby with congenital anomalies.
So you need not worry.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you.
