Yes, you can. There is a higher chance for you to get Type 1 Diabetes wherein it is (mostly) genetically transmitted by your parents to their offspring. Your father may have it too, he just doesn't know it yet. Better have him check earlier, just to be safe.
I found this site diabetes-research.net that deals with diabetes. Their intensive diabetes research helps individual to know more about diabetes and shows some tips/ways on how to prevent and minimize the effects of diabetes and most of all they provide diabetes menu plans to help manage diabetes for those who suffer the illness.
Hope that helps in some way.

∙ 14y agoNo you can not. Because your heath is not the same as your grandfathers. Diabetes is not a catch-able disase meaning you cant catch it if someone around you has it. you get diabetes from eating to much sugar. its not a spreadable virus like H1N1 is.
