Do your parents have it? Yes, it is hereditary, and then there is your nutritional factor as well.if you're worried, see your doctor. Don't fool around with it. There are serious complications from it. My ex has it, his mom and dad had it, and so did his maternal grandmother. Good Luck. Yes diabetes is genetic. However, it doesn't necessarily mean you will have it. It just means your chances of getting it are higher. The same goes for somebody that has no diabetes history in their family, they can still get it.
Absolutely, your diet has a factor on whether it manifests in you or not. It can be controlled with healthy living.
IN MY FAMILY IT IS SO EVEN THOUGH I DONT HAVE IT I'LL PROBALLY HAVE IT WHEN IM OLDER
Start watching what you eat now. Lower your sugar intake and get plenty of exercise. You still might get it but there is a chance that if you take care of yourself now you might not get it Diabetes does not care if you are male or felmale..iIf you think you may have Diabetes do not hesitate to see your doctor as there are many complications that can result from having this disease. It is hereditary, but you can also get it by taking medicines such as steroids which elevates your sugar levels. Take care of yourself, don't wait, you may have it but you may be able to control it with pills rather than insulin if its in the early stages. Good luck and good health to you.

Watch your diet, exercise, and get your blood tested regularly by a physician to keep a check on this since it does run in your family.

type 1 is but type 2 is not Yes, I unfortunately didn't know we had family history when I was diagnosed. It runs very strong in my dad's family, and he wasn't speaking to them at that time. Later we learned that both of my dad's siblings are type II, and about half of his cousin's. I am one of five children, and three of us are diabetic. My kids have a 50:50 chance of developing it.
