Is Diabetes a chromosomal error?

you have to be much more specific in your question. there are many types of diabetes- type one diabetes, type two diabetes, diabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus. I, personally, am actually a type one diabetic (diabetes mellitus). This is not due to chromosomal error. No one is precisely sure as to how one acquires diabetes, but my doctor's believe I caught a virus which tricked my immune system to thinking my pancreas was sick, when it was in fact not. My immune system then killed my beta cells. Or alpha. I don't know haha. Hope this helps.

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.]
