Please have a look at the questionnaire page if you have a spare minute.
I didn't realise there was a direct genetic link with Type 2, i just thought it was with Type 1.
I think it may be a combination of both. There is a genetic link to type 2 diabetes though. My parents had a healthy lifestyle and we always ate well. They weren't overweight. My brother and myself were brought up the same. My brother iwas actually my half brother (different dad's due to his dad dying in WW2) and he developed diabetes just like my mum and at the same age. So far I'm clear. Researching family tree stuff I find that four of my mum's seven siblings also developed type 2 in their fifties. Maybe the link will become clearer but lifestyle is also involved somewhere. Being able to ward it off though, by being aware of your own risk, has to be a good thing especially for those most vulnerable. https://diabetes.org/diabetes/genetics-diabetes#:~:text=Type%202%20diabetes%20has%20a,also%20depends%20on%20environmental%20factors.Taz x
Certainly I understand that there is a link to Type 2 diabetes. Type 1 - people are born with. Type 2 is acquired, partly genetic the rest is lifestyle. Or in my case, medication
