ok. so this is a maths question.
if both your grandmothers had Diabetes mellitus type II, there would be a 50% that either of your parents carried the defective gene, if either of your parents did contract the gene, there would also be a 50% chance they would pass it on to you. so in total a 25% chance 1 parent contracts the defective gene, and 50% chance they pass the gene to you if they had it, which gives 1/8 or 1.25% chance you would get it.
check out the data behind the question on the wikipedia page for diabetes mellitus under 3) genetics.

Alternatively, it could express the dreamer's fears of losing something that provides security and a sense of history, similar to one's feeling about grandmothers.
What percent are kids likely to get diabetes when a parent has diabetes?
You have a 50% chance of getting diabetes if either your father or mother have Type 1 Diabetes. If one of them has Type 2, that has nothing to do with you and nothing gets passed on between your parents to you. [This is not strictly true. Type 2 diabetes does appear to have some genetic component, in that people with one or both parents who have Type 2 diabetes have a higher incidence of Type 2 diabetes than the population as a whole, but the exact causative factor is still under investigation, and it is unlikely to prove entirely genetic.]
