Can you inherit type 2 diabetes from a type 1 parent?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Irrespective of type 1 or 2, Diabetes can be inherited and is linked to your family history and genetics but environmental factors also play a role. Not everyone with a family history of diabetes will get it, but you're more likely to develop it if a parent or sibling has it.
