Within the list of symptoms, it said a family history would be a factor.
Yes, because Type II is associated with an insensitivity to your own insulin. What this means is that your fat tissue is overloaded (and wont divide anymore) and they "Keyhole Mechanism" that allows this tissue to recognize Insulin are stretched. This situation will not allow sugar to enter and it is left in the blood stream. This is bad news for your kidneys, blood vessels and eyes. The best presription is a good diet and lots of exercise. See your doctor for a referral to a certified nutritionist for a good diet plan. Good Luck

Yes, type 2 diabetes can occur with no family history. So can type 1, for that matter. Although family history is a big risk factor, it’s not necessary that a person have a family history to develop either type. A huge increase in type 2 diabetes is attributed in large part to increasingly poor eating habits in today’s society.

It is a factor but it is not the only factor and no family history is needed to get it. Just makes it much more likely.

Unfortunately yes. Best way to avoid it is to keep your weight under control, eat plenty of vegetables and fruits and stay away from saturated fats and sugary foods

anyone can get type 2 or type 1. if it runs in the family it just increases the chances of developing it. same with obesity…just because you’re overweight doesnt mean that you’re going to develop type 2…being overweight just increases the chances…skinny people can get type 2 also
