Diabetes (type 2) risk is accentuated with obesity, and with a parent who is diabetic, it is preventable if efforts of weight loss and exercise are seriously undertaken. Improvement of risks depends on the effort made.

If you manage to lose 10% of your body weight and exercise at least 150 minutes/week that would show an improvement and reduce your risk of progression by more than 50%.
