I'm sorry: I don't have your age here, but I hope you are not a very young person worrying about these things. Because, while whether or not you become diabetic is not entirely within your control, whether or not you become obese is! And controlling your weight, which you can do through daily healthy eating and being physically active, will go a LONG WAY in preventing diabetes as well. Best wishes!
