Don’t worry too much, it’s not that simple!
It depends also on the Diabetic Type (T1D or T2D).

See the last scientific resources:

· “Heritability of diabetes”: http://www.jci.org/articles/view/2475…
· “Unpacking the heritability of diabetes: The problem of attempting to quantify the relative contributions of nature and nurture”:
http://escholarship.ucop.edu/uc/item/…
Quote:
“… in humans, the heritability of diabetes, and most likely of comparable complex phenotypes, cannot be accurately measured, for empirical and ethical reasons. And even if it could, heritability would still say nothing about how much a person’s genetic background has contributed to her fasting glucose concentration, height, or intelligence. An analysis of variance is not an analysis of causes, and cannot help understand what caused a condition in an individual, nor can it quantify contributing causes. It is not even an approximation of the question of nature-nurture — it is irrelevant to it.
As to heritable and inherited, these terms have different meanings, and the ordinary language use of both as interchangeable is largely responsible for the persisting belief that the weight of inheritance can be meaningfully quantified in individuals. This belief is often fostered by scientists themselves, and reproduced by an uncritical media.” (Page 35)

They say that because one of the reason for “Diabetes” is eating habit/disorder, Children copy their parents eating/life style n get same diseases too… so just check ur life style…..
