Q: What are the chances of not becoming a diabetic when the parents are diabetic.
A:Even when both parents are diabetic, there is a 75% chance of you not becoming a diabetic. It depends upon the individual. However, you should undergo annual blood sugar (fasting and post prandial) testing as a follow up, since you are above 40 years of age.
