Lower chances: It's still possible as you might be geneticaly predisposed to it. Your weight however, is causing you to be insulin resistant and this would certainly improve with diet and exercise. Diabetes has long term consequences on your entire body, so focus on the weight loss and you will live a healthier life overall. Take care.
