Best Answer

Diabetes is not considered to be a completely genetic disease. While there are factors in genetics that can cause a person to be more prone to diabetes, there is nothing that means that diabetes will always be passed from one generation to the next. If people in your family have suffered with the disease, you may have to keep a closer eye on your overall health and eating habits in order to avoid becoming diabetic.
