What is the likelihood of me getting diabetes if my brother and sister has it?

Higher : You need to see at your sibling: 2 out of 3 or more. Are your parents and grandparents affected? About aunt, uncle and cousin. This might give and indication. There is a definite genetic predisposition but genetic testing is not standard at this time.
