Thanks for the reply. Is it possible for a person with both parents to avoid diabetes type 2, by rigorously exercising and eating healthy?

Yes it is possible ,see in my family 3brothers and 1sister .My dad diagnosed around 62 years old. I'm the only one with diabetes .
type 2 diabetes runs in families. In part, this tendency is due to children learning bad habits eating a poor diet, not exercising--from their parents. But there is also a genetic basis.

In general, if you have type 2 diabetes, the risk of your child getting diabetes is 1 in 7 if you were diagnosed before age 50 and 1 in 13 if you were diagnosed after age 50.

Some scientists believe that a child's risk is greater when the parent with type 2 diabetes is the mother. If both you and your partner have type 2 diabetes, your child's risk is about 1 in 2.

You'll probably also need a stress-free environment as well. And that's something we may not always have control over.
