Diabetes is a complicated disease. Sometimes it skips from generation to generation, not every person who has diabetes will pass it onto their children. As for what type of diabetes will be passed on depends also. It can be Type 1/Juvenile Diabetes or Type 2 Diabetes. Juvenile/Type 1 is an onset at an early age most of the time, I developed full blown Type 1 at the age of 17, some are born with Type 1, and sometimes it doesn't set in until later on. Type 1 is inevitable because it is genetic and cannot be prevented.
Type 2 can be prevented if a person stays healthy and fit. Supposedly Drew Carey is not longer a Type 2 Diabetic because he lost all his weight and his pancreas is now working correctly. However, there is also pre-diabetes, which is where the pancreas is starting to not produce enough insulin; that will, in turn, cause a person to be first type 2 once the pancreas fails to produce sufficient amounts of insulin, and possibly later on the pancreas could cease to produce any insulin, making a person type 1 diabetic. I have a few friends who have diabetic relatives and they are pre-diabetic and their blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but they aren't in danger for diabetes just yet.
Hope this helps.
