Type I diabetes mellitus is the genetic form of the disease.
Is diabetes type 1 genetic?

How you get type 1 diabetes?
Type 1 Diabetes is a genetic disorder which means you are born with it or inheirit it from your parents who carry it or have it.

Yes. If you have type 2 diabetes, your child is more likely to have it than a child of a person with type 1.
Why do obese people get diabetes?
It can be genetic or it can come from eating a lot and not exercising.
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.]
Is diabetes 1 more common than diabetes 2?
No , type 1 Diabetes is less common . Out of a percentage of diabetics in the United States, only 10 percent are type 1, whilst the other 90 are type 2.
How do kids get diabetes?
Kids usually are only diagnosed with one type of diabetes - Type 1 Diabetes. It is when your pancreas stops producing insulin. Sometimes kids can be diagnosed with other kinds - but you can only get Type 2 if you have seriously bad eating habits, or are very obese. Usually, one leads to the other. Type 2 is usually seen in adults.
Why can you prevent type 2 diabetes but can not prevent type 1 diabetes?
Type 2 Diabetes is when (basically) only half of your pancreas doesn't function or only a small bit of it functions, this is sometimes caused by eating problems, and unhealthy eating habits, or not exercising, that sort of matter. Type one is somewhat hereditary or genetic, it runs in your jeans. You can't prevent your jeans, but you can eat healthier and exercise.
Is diabetes a congenital disorder?
No. Its a pancreatic disorder. Families can be predisposed to it but anybody can get it. Type 2 diabetes occurs in older people more than the young. With refereance to the above: In the short sense, diabetes IS genetic. Diabetes is a pancreatic disorder however, a genetic disorder is not always passed on through genes it can be a defect in the genes such as leukemia. Diabetes is thought to be a recessive gene and that is why. Type two diabetes isn't genetic but obesity etc often is. Therefore the causes of it are, type one is explained perfectly below. Diabetes is polygenetic. Meaning more than one gene is involved in the risk for the major forms of diabetes (Type 1 and Type 2). Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease which is triggered by something in the environment in those who are genetically suspectible. This trigger may be a virus. There is no known way to prevent Type 1 diabetes, and it is NOT caused by poor diet, too much sugar, obesity, or lack of exercise. Because Type 1 diabetes is not preventable, some people say it is a "genetic" form of diabetes. It can also run strong in families, although about 80% of Type 1 diabetics have no family members with the disease. This has to do with the complex genetics involved. Not everyone in the family will inherit those genes or be exposed to the triggers. Type 1 diabetes is a multi factorial and polygenetic disease. Type 2 diabetes has completely different genetics from Type 1 diabetes, and is often linked to being triggered by poor diet, obesity, and lack of exercise. Most cases can be prevented or at least delayed with lifestyle changes, although some cases have a very strong genetic link. Type 2 diabetes runs very strong in families. However, good lifestyle habits can go a long way to prevent it regardless of your genes. There are rare cases of monogenetic diabetes in which only one genetic defect is involved, and the disease does not need a trigger to develop. These forms of diabetes include the KIR6 mutation, MODY, and others that are part of a genetic syndrome. I have type 1 and the only other person in my family that has this is my great uncle, but other than that I don't think that it has been passed through my family. I think that someone might be more likely to have diabetes if it a running in the family, but I do know that it can be a result of disease, I had a teacher who had his mother get diabetes after having ME and his sister developed it after having the chicken pox virus. As for type 2 diabetes, I think there may be some link between this in terms of family history, but not a very strong one. This is mostly caused by obesity, no exercise and an unhealthy lifestyle, or something along those lines.
