what type of diabetes is genetic and how can you avoid or delay it?

If you have the genes, does it definitely mean you will get it? My grandma on my moms side has it, so what should I be worried about? Which type of diabetes is most genetic?

    Type 1 diabetes is genetic.
    You cannot delay it, and it will usually make itself known before you’re forty.
    The closer related someone is to you, the more chance you have.

    Diabetes is genetic, but if you do a lot to try to prevent it, I think that you can still avoid getting it, even if it runs in your family. Just try to maintain a healthy weight, and watch your sugar and fat intake. good luck.
